Tumor evolution: Linear, branching, neutral or punctuated?☆

TLDR
Data is discussed that supports the theory that most human tumors evolve from a single cell in the normal tissue, and suggests that models may change during tumor progression or operate concurrently for different classes of mutations.

Drug-induced resistance in micrometastases: analysis of spatio-temporal cell lineages

TL;DR: This work used a hybrid agent-based model to investigate how sensitive tumor cells develop drug resistance in the heterogeneous tumor microenvironment and characterized the spatio-temporal evolution of lineages of the resistant cells and examined how resistance at the single-cell level contributes to the overall tumor resistance.

The Circular RNA-miRNA Axis: A Special RNA Signature Regulatory Transcriptome as a Potential Biomarker for OSCC.

TL;DR: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a highly recurrent form of cancer arising from the oral epithelium, which is the result of mutational change due to etiological factors such as tobacco, smoking, chewing of areca nuts, and alcohol consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Power and pitfalls of computational methods for inferring clone phylogenies and mutation orders from bulk sequencing data

TL;DR: Overall, CloneFinder, MACHINA, and LICHeE showed the highest overall accuracy, but none of the methods performed well for all simulated datasets, so guidelines for selecting methods for data analysis are presented.

Deciphering Tumour Heterogeneity: From Tissue to Liquid Biopsy

TL;DR: The extent of tumour heterogeneity with an emphasis on ITH is explored and the mechanisms that promote and sustain this diversity in cancers are reported and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distribution-based measures of tumor heterogeneity are sensitive to mutation calling and lack strong clinical predictive power.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the clinical predictions associated with MATH score are primarily caused by copy number aberrations that alter mutant allele frequencies, and elucidate the importance of allele frequency distributions as a measure for tumor heterogeneity and their prognostic role.

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.

A genetic model for colorectal tumorigenesis

TL;DR: A model for the genetic basis of colorectal neoplasia that includes the following salient features is presented, which may be applicable to other common epithelial neoplasms, in which tumors of varying stage are more difficult to study.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clonal evolution of tumor cell populations

TL;DR: Each patient's cancer may require individual specific therapy, and even this may be thwarted by emergence of a genetically variant subline resistant to the treatment, which should be directed toward understanding and controlling the evolutionary process in tumors before it reaches the late stage usually seen in clinical cancer.

MET Amplification Leads to Gefitinib Resistance in Lung Cancer by Activating ERBB3 Signaling

TL;DR: It is proposed that MET amplification may promote drug resistance in other ERBB-driven cancers as well after it was found that amplification of MET causes gefitinib resistance by driving ERBB3 (HER3)–dependent activation of PI3K, a pathway thought to be specific to EGFR/ERBB family receptors.
