Abstract

Chromosomal instability (CIN) is one of the major forms of CIN is stable between precursor lesions, primary tumor, and genomic instability in various human cancers and is recognized metastases or if it evolves during these steps. In this review, we as a common hallmark of tumorigenesis and heterogeneity. describe the influence of CIN on the various steps in tumor However, some malignant tumors show a paucity of chromo-initiation and development. Given the recognized significant somal alterations, suggesting that tumor progression and evo-effects of CIN in cancer, CIN-targeted therapeutics could have a lution can occur in the absence of CIN. It is unclear whether major impact on improving clinical outcomes.
