What the author wants to express for the meaning of "The findings have important implications for the temporal emergence of some cancers" is obvious:
The findings have important implications for understanding and preventing the temporal emergence of some cancers.
Because "the temporal emergence of some cancers," whether the scientists have found it or not, will go its own way. But the findings will help the researchers understand the mechanism of it and then prevent and treat it.
I wonder whether " The findings have important implications for the temporal emergence of some cancers" is logically acceptable in your eyes.
Context:
Shattering Chromosomes in Cancer
Somatic mutations driving cancer are thought to accumulate gradually over time. But could cancer-relevant mutations also arise in a single catastrophic event of chromosome shattering? Stephens et al. provide evidence for such a phenomenon, which they term chromothripsis, whereby tens to hundreds of genomic rearrangements occur in a single cellular crisis. The authors document chromothripsis in a number of human cancers and show that several oncogenic lesions can emerge from one genomic crisis. The findings have important implications for the temporal emergence of some cancers.
@oristarA,
Has this thread been jilted?
@oristarA,
Has everyone turned a blind eye on it?
