Figure 1 Spectrum of intratumor heterogeneity (ITH). Model depicting the evolution and spread of liver cancer from the onset to local metastasis. The primary tumor consists of four different subclones with distinct molecular compositions. These clones represent the intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) of the tumor. Green highlights primary tumor (P). IM, intrahepatic metastasis (red); TT, tumor thrombus (blue); SN, satellite nodule (yellow).
