Abstract
⺠We discuss the challenges presented by intra tumour heterogeneity (ITH). ⺠We present the current evidence for the existence of intra tumour heterogeneity and also some examples of its absence. ⺠We examine in detail the problems faced in calling point mutations and present some possible solutions. ⺠The implications of ITH on mechanisms underlying the acquisition of drug resistance are discussed.
