In a new study, UCLA researchers demonstrated how two subsets of small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer tumor cells (shown in red and green) can arise from less aggressive prostate tumors.
Melanoma cell lines can harbor BRAF gene amplification (red signal) in two remarkably different modes, as extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) (left) and as an intrachromosomal homogeneously staining region (HSR) (right)

Microscopic images show a non-small cell breast cancer, left, and small cell neuroendocrine breast cancer, right. Small cell neuroendocrine cancers typically feature smaller cells and larger nuclei in relation to cell size.
