Establishment of patient-derived tumor xenografts from Asian  gastric adenocarcinoma is characterized by clonal selection and bias in  molecular subtypes
This study presents a resource of fully annotated Asian gastric cancer PDX models for anticancer agent testing. We show that beside close resemblance of PDX with parental tumors, not all subtypes are established, and that the clonal selection plays a key role the establishment of certain tumors. This may have a bearing on translation of observations into the clinic and underline the need to frequently survey the molecular characteristics of the PDX models.
