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 ...
Carbon dating cancer: defining the chronology of metastatic progression in colorectal cancer.
(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 ...
Classifying the evolutionary and ecological features of neoplasms.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-10-01)
Neoplasms change over time through a process of cell-level evolution, driven by genetic and epigenetic alterations. However, the ecology of the microenvironment of a neoplastic cell determines which changes provide adaptive ...
Detecting truly clonal alterations from multi-region profiling of tumours.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-27)
Modern cancer therapies aim at targeting tumour-specific alterations, such as mutations or neo-antigens, and maximal treatment efficacy requires that targeted alterations are present in all tumour cells. Currently, treatment ...
Robust RNA-based in situ mutation detection delineates colorectal cancer subclonal evolution.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-12-08)
Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) is a major underlying cause of therapy resistance and disease recurrence, and is a read-out of tumor growth. Current genetic ITH analysis methods do not preserve spatial context and may not ...
