Circulating Tumour DNA Sequencing Identifies a Genetic Resistance-Gap in Colorectal Cancers with Acquired Resistance to EGFR-Antibodies and Chemotherapy.
(MDPI, 2020-12-11)
Epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies (EGFR-Abs) confer a survival benefit in patients with RAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but resistance invariably occurs. Previous data showed that only a minority ...
Diagnostic Accuracy and Safety of Coaxial System in Oncology Patients Treated in a Specialist Cancer Center With Prospective Validation Within Clinical Trial Data.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-09-04)
BACKGROUND: Image-guided tissue biopsies are critically important in the diagnosis and management of cancer patients. High-yield samples are also vital for biomarker and resistance mechanism discovery through molecular/genomic ...
Detecting and Tracking Circulating Tumour DNA Copy Number Profiles during First Line Chemotherapy in Oesophagogastric Adenocarcinoma.
(MDPI, 2019-06-04)
DNA somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) are key drivers in oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma (OGA). Whether minimally invasive SCNA analysis of circulating tumour (ct)DNA can predict treatment outcomes and reveal how ...
Genomic and Transcriptomic Determinants of Therapy Resistance and Immune Landscape Evolution during Anti-EGFR Treatment in Colorectal Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-06-26)
Despite biomarker stratification, the anti-EGFR antibody cetuximab is only effective against a subgroup of colorectal cancers (CRCs). This genomic and transcriptomic analysis of the cetuximab resistance landscape in 35 RAS ...
Immunopeptidomics of colorectal cancer organoids reveals a sparse HLA class I neoantigen landscape and no increase in neoantigens with interferon or MEK-inhibitor treatment.
(BMC, 2019-10-08)
BACKGROUND: Patient derived organoids (PDOs) can be established from colorectal cancers (CRCs) as in vitro models to interrogate cancer biology and its clinical relevance. We applied mass spectrometry (MS) immunopeptidomics ...
Immunotherapy Sensitivity of Mismatch Repair-Deficient Cancer: Mutation Load Is Not Enough.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-01-11)
Abundant neoantigens are considered responsible for the immunotherapy sensitivity of mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) cancers. In this issue of Cancer Cell, two papers show that MLH1 mismatch repair gene loss promotes ...
Mutational signatures impact the evolution of anti-EGFR antibody resistance in colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-05-20)
Anti-EGFR antibodies such as cetuximab are active against KRAS/NRAS wild-type colorectal cancers (CRCs), but acquired resistance invariably evolves. It is unknown which mutational mechanisms enable resistance evolution and ...
Computational Image Analysis of T-Cell Infiltrates in Resectable Gastric Cancer: Association with Survival and Molecular Subtypes.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-01-04)
BACKGROUND: Gastric and gastro-esophageal junction cancers (GCs) frequently recur after resection, but markers to predict recurrence risk are missing. T-cell infiltrates have been validated as prognostic markers in other ...
Identifying key questions in the ecology and evolution of cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-02-08)
The application of evolutionary and ecological principles to cancer prevention and treatment, as well as recognizing cancer as a selection force in nature, has gained impetus over the last 50 years. Following the initial ...
Advances in immunotherapy for MMR proficient colorectal cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-12-01)
Survival in mismatch-repair proficient (MMRp) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) remains poor and chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment. Immunotherapy has demonstrated durable responses and a favourable side-effect ...
