Abstract 2: FGFR3 as a therapeutic target in squamous cell lung carcinoma

TL;DR: Data suggest that mutations in the FGFR3 gene are sufficient to transform cells, and this finding, along with recently published data suggesting that FGFR1 amplification is also able to drive lung SCC development, demonstrates that theFGFR family may be a promising therapeutic target in lung S CC.

A deep learning system can accurately classify primary and metastatic cancers based on patterns of passenger mutations

TL;DR: A deep learning classifier is trained to predict cancer type based on patterns of somatic passenger mutations detected in whole genome sequencing (WGS) of 2606 tumours representing 24 common cancer types, and surprisingly, adding information on driver mutations reduced classifier accuracy.
