BRCA mutation

Nodular pelvic disease and the presence of pelvic disease in the gastrohepatic ligament associated with high likelihood of BRCA.

Infiltrative pelvic disease, mesenteric presence and supradiaphragmatic lymphadenopathy were related with less likelihood of BRCA mutation.

Histology and genomics

Different imaging habitats were related to different growth patterns when looking at the histopathological examination. Hypoxia and neovascularisation markers also differ between habitats.

Using presence of somatic mutations and gene copy number variation, phylogenetic tree reconstruction showed that the habitats derive from different clones.
