TLDR
Several lines of analysis indicate that clones seeding metastasis or relapse disseminate late from primary tumors, but continue to acquire mutations, mostly accessing the same mutational processes active in the primary tumor.

Roles of the immune system in cancer: from tumor initiation to metastatic progression.

TL;DR: An update of recent accomplishments, unifying concepts, and future challenges to study tumor-associated immune cells, with an emphasis on metastatic carcinomas are provided.

Insights into Molecular Classifications of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Improving Patient Selection for Treatment.

TL;DR: This work seeks to review the most recent efforts to classify TNBC based on the comprehensive profiling of tumors for cellular composition and molecular features to help improve risk stratification of patients, guide treatment decisions and surveillance, and help identify new targets for drug development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pan-cancer whole-genome analyses of metastatic solid tumours

TL;DR: The largest, to the authors' knowledge, pan-cancer study of metastatic solid tumour genomes, including whole-genome sequencing data for 2,520 pairs of tumour and normal tissue pairs, analysed at median depths of 106× and 38×, respectively, and surveying more than 70 million somatic variants is described.

TL;DR: The ability to integrate information across platforms provided key insights into previously defined gene expression subtypes and demonstrated the existence of four main breast cancer classes when combining data from five platforms, each of which shows significant molecular heterogeneity.

TL;DR: It is shown that hypermutation localized to small genomic regions, ‘kataegis’, is found in many cancer types, and this results reveal the diversity of mutational processes underlying the development of cancer.

A flexible and accurate genotype imputation method for the next generation of genome-wide association studies.

TL;DR: It is found that imputation accuracy can be greatly enhanced by expanding the reference panel to contain thousands of chromosomes and that IMPUTE v2 outperforms other methods in this setting at both rare and common SNPs, with overall error rates that are 15%–20% lower than those of the closest competing method.

Mutational landscape and significance across 12 major cancer types

TL;DR: Data and analytical results for point mutations and small insertions/deletions from 3,281 tumours across 12 tumour types are presented as part of the TCGA Pan-Cancer effort, and clinical association analysis identifies genes having a significant effect on survival.
