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.

Stochasticity in the Genotype-Phenotype Map: Implications for the Robustness and Persistence of Bet-Hedging.

TL;DR: This work studies how bet-hedging emerges in genotype–phenotype (GP) mapping through a simple interaction model: a molecular switch, and investigates the impact of structurally distinct mappings on the evolution of phenotypic heterogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypermutable DNA chronicles the evolution of human colon cancer

TL;DR: It is reported that a simple PCR-based assay interrogating somatic variation in hypermutable polyguanine (poly-G) repeats can provide a rapid and reliable assessment of mitotic history and clonal architecture in human cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structural basis for cancer treatment decisions.

TL;DR: Improved tumor mutational analysis platforms and knowledge of the redundant pathways which can take over in cancer, may not only supplement known actionable findings, but forecast possible cancer progression and resistance, and consequently more informed treatment options.

Biological and Clinical Implications of Clonal Heterogeneity and Clonal Evolution in Multiple Myeloma.

TL;DR: A historical excursus is presented on the concepts of clonal heterogeneity and clonal evolution in multiple myeloma with a special emphasis on their role in the progression from MGUS to MM; the contribution of the microenvironment; and the clinical implications in terms of resistance to treatment and disease relapse/recurrence.
