We review the main tenets of our model and show that the criticisms raised by the paper&#039;s authors are based on papers that are either misunderstood or misquoted. We argue that the PCE model and its recent developments (in particular the &#039;Russian doll model&#039; dealing with micro-clonal evolution) are supported in most cases when adequate data are available.&lt;/p&gt;
