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.

Single-cell DNA and RNA sequencing reveals the dynamics of intra-tumor heterogeneity in a colorectal cancer model

TL;DR: An evolutionary dynamics of single-cell RNA and DNA changes in tumor progression is revealed, giving insights into the mesenchymal-epithelial transformation of tumor cells at metastasis in colorectal cancer.

Breast cancer heterogeneity through the lens of single-cell analysis and spatial pathologies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the insights gained through single-cell analysis and spatial pathologies on breast cancer heterogeneity, which may help facilitate the development of novel therapies and improve outcomes for patients.

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 and conditions.

Towards multi-omics characterization of tumor heterogeneity: a comprehensive review of statistical and machine learning approaches.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of diverse approaches to characterize tumor heterogeneity based on three different omics layers: genome, epigenome and transcriptome can be useful for the analysis of multi-omics profiles produced by many large-scale consortia.

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.

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.
