Genomic profiling and pre-clinical modelling of breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasis reveals acquisition of a lobular-like phenotype.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-11-16)
Breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasis (BCLM), where tumour cells grow along the lining of the brain and spinal cord, is a devastating development for patients. Investigating this metastatic site is hampered by difficulty ...
The co-evolution of the genome and epigenome in colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-24)
Colorectal malignancies are a leading cause of cancer-related death1 and have undergone extensive genomic study2,3. However, DNA mutations alone do not fully explain malignant transformation4-7. Here we investigate the ...
First passage time analysis of spatial mutation patterns reveals sub-clonal evolutionary dynamics in colorectal cancer.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2023-03-01)
The signature of early cancer dynamics on the spatial arrangement of tumour cells is poorly understood, and yet could encode information about how sub-clones grew within the expanding tumour. Novel methods of quantifying ...
Immunosuppressive niche engineering at the onset of human colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-04)
The evolutionary dynamics of tumor initiation remain undetermined, and the interplay between neoplastic cells and the immune system is hypothesized to be critical in transformation. Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents a unique ...
Virtual alignment of pathology image series for multi-gigapixel whole slide images.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-07-26)
Interest in spatial omics is on the rise, but generation of highly multiplexed images remains challenging, due to cost, expertise, methodical constraints, and access to technology. An alternative approach is to register ...
Lineage tracing in human tissues.
(WILEY, 2022-05-05)
The dynamical process of cell division that underpins homeostasis in the human body cannot be directly observed in vivo, but instead is measurable from the pattern of somatic genetic or epigenetic mutations that accrue in ...
Racial and ethnic disparities in treatment-related heart disease mortality among US breast cancer survivors.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Racial and ethnic disparities in heart disease mortality by initial treatment type among breast cancer survivors have not been well described. METHODS: We included 739 557 women diagnosed with first primary ...
"Tell me what is 'better'!" How medical students experience feedback, through the lens of self-regulatory learning.
(BMC, 2023-11-22)
INTRODUCTION: While feedback aims to support learning, students frequently struggle to use it. In studying feedback responses there is a gap in explaining them in relation to learning theory. This study explores how feedback ...
ESMO recommendations on the use of circulating tumour DNA assays for patients with cancer: a report from the ESMO Precision Medicine Working Group.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-08-01)
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) assays conducted on plasma are rapidly developing a strong evidence base for use in patients with cancer. The European Society for Medical Oncology convened an expert working group to review ...
Rare Variation in Drug Metabolism and Long QT Genes and the Genetic Susceptibility to Acquired Long QT Syndrome.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-02-03)
BACKGROUND: Acquired long QT syndrome (aLQTS) is a serious unpredictable adverse drug reaction. Pharmacogenomic markers may predict risk. METHODS: Among 153 aLQTS patients (mean age 58 years [range, 14-88], 98.7% White, ...
