A University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) study employs game theory to assert that tumors with lower cellular heterogeneity exhibit higher aggressiveness. The convergence of mathematics, histopathology, and genomics substantiates the finding that the most aggressive clear cell renal cell carcinomas possess limited intratumor heterogeneity, implying a reduced diversity of cell types. Conducted by UPV/EHU…
