Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-19)
The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ...
Tracking Cancer Evolution Reveals Constrained Routes to Metastases: TRACERx Renal.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-19)
Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) exhibits a broad range of metastatic phenotypes that have not been systematically studied to date. Here, we analyzed 575 primary and 335 metastatic biopsies across 100 patients with ...
Microenvironmental niche divergence shapes BRCA1-dysregulated ovarian cancer morphological plasticity.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-09-25)
How tumor microenvironmental forces shape plasticity of cancer cell morphology is poorly understood. Here, we conduct automated histology image and spatial statistical analyses in 514 high grade serous ovarian samples to ...
Circulating tumour DNA is a potential biomarker for disease progression and response to targeted therapy in advanced thyroid cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Conventional biomarkers in thyroid cancer are not disease specific and fluctuate in advanced disease, making interpretation difficult. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has been shown to be a useful biomarker in ...
Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Protein Loss and Benefit From Oxaliplatin-based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2018-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Loss of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a key protein regulating DNA repair signaling, has been suggested to increase sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. We conducted a study analyzing the loss of ATM ...
The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lymph Node Spread in Early Breast Cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-02-01)
Purpose: The most significant prognostic factor in early breast cancer is lymph node involvement. This stage between localized and systemic disease is key to understanding breast cancer progression; however, our knowledge ...
Optimised ARID1A immunohistochemistry is an accurate predictor of ARID1A mutational status in gynaecological cancers.
(WILEY, 2018-07-20)
ARID1A is a tumour suppressor gene that is frequently mutated in clear cell and endometrioid carcinomas of the ovary and endometrium and is an important clinical biomarker for novel treatment approaches for patients with ...
Characterisation of the immune-related transcriptome in resected biliary tract cancers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-11-01)
UNLABELLED: Although biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are known to have an inflammatory component, a detailed characterisation of immune-related transcripts has never been performed. In these studies, nCounter PanCancer Immune ...
Discordance between oncotype DX recurrence score and RSPC for predicting residual risk of recurrence in ER-positive breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-02-01)
PURPOSE: Oncotype DX, a gene expression assay widely employed to aid decision making on adjuvant chemotherapy use in patients with primary oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, produces a recurrence score (RS) ...
Prognostic role of the LCS6 KRAS variant in locally advanced rectal cancer: results of the EXPERT-C trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Lethal-7 (let-7) is a tumour suppressor miRNA which acts by down-regulating several oncogenes including KRAS. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs61764370, T > G base substitution) in the let-7 complementary ...
