The role of APOBEC3B in lung tumor evolution and targeted cancer therapy resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-01-01)
In this study, the impact of the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic subunit-like (APOBEC) enzyme APOBEC3B (A3B) on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven lung cancer was assessed. A3B expression in EGFR mutant ...
A non-cell autonomous mouse model of CNS haemangioblastoma mediated by mutant KRAS.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-21)
Haemangioblastoma is a rare malignancy of the CNS where vascular proliferation causes lesions due to endothelial propagation. We found that conditionally expressing mutant Kras, using Rag1-Cre, gave rise to CNS haemangioblastoma ...
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 ...
The evolutionary landscape of colorectal tumorigenesis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-10-01)
The evolutionary events that cause colorectal adenomas (benign) to progress to carcinomas (malignant) remain largely undetermined. Using multi-region genome and exome sequencing of 24 benign and malignant colorectal tumours, ...
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 ...
Pineoblastoma segregates into molecular sub-groups with distinct clinico-pathologic features: a Rare Brain Tumor Consortium registry study.
(SPRINGER, 2020-02-01)
Pineoblastomas (PBs) are rare, aggressive pediatric brain tumors of the pineal gland with modest overall survival despite intensive therapy. We sought to define the clinical and molecular spectra of PB to inform new treatment ...
The Long Non-Coding RNA H19 Drives the Proliferation of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma with H3K27 Mutation.
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an incurable paediatric malignancy. Identifying the molecular drivers of DIPG progression is of the utmost importance. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a large family of ...
Implementing rapid, robust, cost-effective, patient-centred, routine genetic testing in ovarian cancer patients.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-07-13)
Advances in DNA sequencing have made genetic testing fast and affordable, but limitations of testing processes are impeding realisation of patient benefits. Ovarian cancer exemplifies the potential value of genetic testing ...
Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-06)
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of ...
Psychosocial impact of undergoing prostate cancer screening for men with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
(WILEY, 2019-02-01)
OBJECTIVES: To report the baseline results of a longitudinal psychosocial study that forms part of the IMPACT study, a multi-national investigation of targeted prostate cancer (PCa) screening among men with a known pathogenic ...
