For all 4 patients, the first biopsy site was the primary lung lesion. The re-biopsy site depended on circumstances. For patients 1 and 3, the sample came from an intrapulmonary metastasis resulting from local progression; for patients 2 and 4, the sample came from liver because of distant metastasis.
