Abstract
Extrachromosomal DNA circles (ecDNA) are a common mechanism for oncogene amplification and are associated with worse clinical outcomes compared with other types of oncogene amplification. Several recent discoveries of ecDNA hubs-local congregations of ecDNAs in the nucleus-highlight unique features of ecDNA biology that may contribute to higher oncogene expression and rapid tumor evolution. ©2022 The Authors; Published by the American Association for Cancer Research.Entities:
