DEFINITION

A pathologic process in which alterations at the molecular level result in a more aggressive cytologic and phenotypic profile and clinical course of a neoplasm.

DesignNote

The process of tumor progression is thought to be driven by clonal evolution. The initiating event is a mutation that gives a cell the ability to divide when it shouldn't. As a result a small group of related cells, called a clone because they are identical to each other, grows. Clonal evolution occurs like a tree with mutations causing many clones to branch off continuously.
