The study also identifies somatic alterations associated with increased metastatic burden and routes of metastatic spread.

## Lung Adenocarcinoma Studies with Mutation and Copy-Number Data
I found **13 cBioPortal studies** with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) samples that include both mutation and copy-number alteration (CNA) data:

**Largest cohort:** The MSK MetTropism study (2023) is the largest with 2,653 lung adenocarcinoma samples, all profiled for both mutations and CNAs.
**TCGA recommendation:** For a standard pan-cancer reference, use the [TCGA PanCancer Atlas (2018)](https://www.cbioportal.org/study/summary?id=luad_tcga_pan_can_atlas_2018) with 566 samples fully profiled for both data types.
