Heterogeneous tumor subpopulations cooperate to drive invasion.

TL;DR: It is suggested that cooperation can drive melanoma progression without the need for clonal selection or phenotype switching and can account for the preservation of heterogeneity seen throughout tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting immune checkpoints potentiates immunoediting and changes the dynamics of tumor evolution.

TL;DR: It is shown, in a mouse model, that neutral evolution outweighs the effects of immunoselection and that immune checkpoint blockade potentiates the immunoediting, switching the system to non-neutral evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary foundations for cancer biology

TL;DR: This special issue provides many specific examples, such as microorganisms inducing cancers, the significance of within‐tumor heterogeneity, and the possibility that lower dose chemotherapy may sometimes promote longer survival.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular vesicles - biomarkers and effectors of the cellular interactome in cancer.

TL;DR: Embracing the notion that human cancers are defined not only by processes occurring within cancer cells, but also between them, and amidst the altered tumor and systemic microenvironment may open new diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities.
Journal ArticleDOI

High intratumor genetic heterogeneity is related to worse outcome in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: A quantitative measure of genetic heterogeneity based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity (MATH), was previously developed and applied to a data set on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as discussed by the authors.

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.

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.
