Carbon dating cancer: defining the chronology of metastatic progression in colorectal cancer.
(2017-06)
Background Patients often ask oncologists how long a cancer has been present before causing symptoms or spreading to other organs. The evolutionary trajectory of cancers can be defined using phylogenetic approaches but ...
Reply to 'Neutral tumor evolution?'

Intratumor heterogeneity in human glioblastoma reflects cancer evolutionary dynamics.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2013-03-05)
Glioblastoma (GB) is the most common and aggressive primary brain malignancy, with poor prognosis and a lack of effective therapeutic options. Accumulating evidence suggests that intratumor heterogeneity likely is the key ...
Contributions to drug resistance in glioblastoma derived from malignant cells in the sub-ependymal zone.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-01-01)
Glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive adult brain tumor, is characterized by extreme phenotypic diversity and treatment failure. Through fluorescence-guided resection, we identified fluorescent tissue in the ...
Evolutionary dynamics of residual disease in human glioblastoma.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive adult brain malignancy against which conventional surgery and chemoradiation provide limited benefit. Even when a good treatment response is obtained, recurrence ...
Analysis of tumour ecological balance reveals resource-dependent adaptive strategies of ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-10-21)
BACKGROUND: Despite treatment advances, there remains a significant risk of recurrence in ovarian cancer, at which stage it is usually incurable. Consequently, there is a clear need for improved patient stratification. ...
Quantification of subclonal selection in cancer from bulk sequencing data.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-28)
Subclonal architectures are prevalent across cancer types. However, the temporal evolutionary dynamics that produce tumor subclones remain unknown. Here we measure clone dynamics in human cancers by using computational ...
Spatially constrained tumour growth affects the patterns of clonal selection and neutral drift in cancer genomic data.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-07-29)
Quantification of the effect of spatial tumour sampling on the patterns of mutations detected in next-generation sequencing data is largely lacking. Here we use a spatial stochastic cellular automaton model of tumour growth ...

(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-02-23)
BACKGROUND: Patients often ask oncologists how long a cancer has been present before causing symptoms or spreading to other organs. The evolutionary trajectory of cancers can be defined using phylogenetic approaches but ...
