Abstract
Many tumours are heterogenous, which calls into question whether multiple biopsies are required to accurately assess the cancer. Here, the authors show that papillary renal cell carcinoma is clonal in nature, suggesting that in this cancer one biopsy is sufficient for diagnosis and molecular analyses.
