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 Article

The evolutionary history of lethal metastatic prostate cancer

TL;DR: Using whole-genome sequencing, multiple metastases arising from prostate tumours in ten patients are characterized and the complex patterns of metastatic spread are elucidate in detail and the development of resistance to androgen-deprivation therapy in prostate cancer is understood.
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.

Mutation-Profile-Based Methods for Understanding Selection Forces in Cancer Somatic Mutations: A Comparative Analysis

TL;DR: The use of the computational pipeline to identify cancer-specific positively and negatively selected genes may provide useful information for understanding the evolution of cancers and identifying possible targets for therapeutic intervention.
Book ChapterDOI

Immune Checkpoint Blockade: Subjugation of the Masses

TL;DR: Combined immunotherapies have yielded the most promising results for eliminating tumors or preventing reoccurrence in other cancer types and will likely be the most efficacious strategy for treating osteosarcoma.
Dissertation

Study of the role of Wnt pathway in a murine model of T-ALL

TL;DR: It is proposed that the R26-βcat model defines a new sub-group of Notch-independent T-ALL and the β-catenin may serve as a potential therapeutic target for these tumours.

Statistics of Cellular Evolution in Leukemia: Allelic Variations in Patient Trajectories Based on Immune Repertoire Sequencing

TL;DR: Two potentially useful parameters are suggested: the rate at which donor’s B cell clones enter the circulation and the average time to regenerate a transplanted immune repertoire, both of which help to distinguish relapsing CLL patients from those in sustained remission and provide additional information about the dynamics of immune reconstitution in the latter patients.
