Here's what I found: ## Study with Longitudinal Data **[Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (TRACERx, NEJM & Nature 2017)](https://www.cbioportal.org/study?id=nsclc_tracerx_2017)** - **447 total samples** across 100 patients - **Average 4.47 samples per patient** — exceptional for tracking clonal evolution - This landmark study sequenced tumors longitudinally, capturing multiple regions from the same primary tumor, lymph node metastases, and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) collected pre- and post-treatment --- ## Example Patient with Multiple Timepoints **[View Patient CRUK0029](https://www.cbioportal.org/patient/summary?studyId=nsclc_tracerx_2017&caseId=CRUK0029)** This patient has **9 samples** including: - **R1–R8**: Multiple regions from the primary tumor (tracking clonal heterogeneity) - **Pre-ctDNA** & **Post-ctDNA**: Circulating tumor DNA before and after treatment (tracking response) - **LN1**: Lymph node metastasis The sample naming (R1, R2, etc.) indicates distinct tumor regions sampled at the same timepoint, while Pre/Post-ctDNA samples show longitudinal treatment response. You'll see these displayed in the patient timeline and with sample-level detail in the mutations and CNV tables. Other patients with rich longitudinal data in this study: - **CRUK0065**: 9 samples - **CRUK0099**: 9 samples - **CRUK0062**: 9 samples
