Cancer stem cells, cancer cell plasticity and radiation therapy.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided supporting the idea that non-stem cancer cells exhibit a remarkable degree of plasticity that allows them to re-acquire cancer stem cell traits, especially in the context of radiation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pancreatic Cancer Metastases Harbor Evidence of Polyclonality

TL;DR: It is demonstrated by lineage tracing that metastases often involve seeding by more than one clone and that subsequent cellular outgrowth depends on the metastatic site, providing insight into clonal diversity and evolution in metastatic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pan-cancer analysis of intratumor heterogeneity as a prognostic determinant of survival

TL;DR: A pan-cancer analysis of over 3300 tumors shows that ITH is a prognostic marker in multiple cancers, indicating that tumor heterogeneity represents a significant obstacle to cancer control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer heterogeneity—a multifaceted view

TL;DR: It is of utmost importance to understand the biological causes that distinguish tumours as well as distinct tumour cell populations within malignancies, as these will ultimately point the way to more rational anti‐cancer treatments.

Metastatic colonization by circulating tumour cells

TL;DR: An improved understanding of the mechanistic determinants of such colonization is needed to better prevent and treat metastatic cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clonal evolution in breast cancer revealed by single nucleus genome sequencing

TL;DR: The data show that aneuploid rearrangements occurred early in tumour evolution and remained highly stable as the tumour masses clonally expanded, which has important implications for the diagnosis, therapeutic treatment and evolution of chemoresistance in breast cancer.
