TL;DR: The results provide a novel molecular stratification of the breast cancer population, derived from the impact of somatic CNAs on the transcriptome, and identify novel subgroups with distinct clinical outcomes, which reproduced in the validation cohort.

TL;DR: This proof-of-concept analysis showed that circulating tumor DNA is an informative, inherently specific, and highly sensitive biomarker of metastatic breast cancer.

TL;DR: It is shown that understanding the biology and therapeutic responses of patients with TNBC will require the determination of individual tumour clonal genotypes, and for the first time in an epithelial tumour subtype, the relative abundance of clonal frequencies among cases representative of the population is determined.

TL;DR: Strong correlations between mutation number, age at which cancer was diagnosed and cancer histological grade are found, and multiple mutational signatures are observed, including one present in about ten per cent of tumours characterized by numerous mutations of cytosine at TpC dinucleotides.

TL;DR: The flagship paper of the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium describes the generation of the integrative analyses of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types, the structures for international data sharing and standardized analyses, and the main scientific findings from across the consortium studies.
