Abstract
In an aspect, there is provided a method for diagnosing or prognosing a subject with cancer, the method comprising: providing cancer DNA sequencing data from a cancer sample comprising cancer DNA from the subject; comparing the cancer DNA sequencing data with control DNA sequencing data to determine genetic aberrations; determining, from the genetic aberrations, the clonal and subclonal populations present in the sample; constructing a phylogenetic map of the clonal and subclonal populations; assigning to the subject a risk level associated with a better or worse patient outcome or response to therapy; wherein a relatively higher risk level is associated with a higher level of evolution and number of subclonal populations and a relatively lower risk level is associated with a lower level of evolution and number of subclonal populations.
