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.

SF-010-4 Distant metastasis occurs late during the genetic evolution of pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: A quantitative analysis of the timing of the genetic evolution of pancreatic cancer was performed, indicating at least a decade between the occurrence of the initiating mutation and the birth of the parental, non-metastatic founder cell.

Epigenetic plasticity and the hallmarks of cancer

TL;DR: It is proposed that chromatin and epigenetic aberrations have the potential to confer on cells the full range of oncogenic properties represented in the classic “hallmarks” depiction of cancer, and it is suggested that genetic, environmental, and metabolic factors can make chromatin aberrantly permissive or restrictive.

Tumour heterogeneity and metastasis at single-cell resolution.

TL;DR: Recent advances in single-cell technologies are reviewed and discussed in detail how they can be leveraged to understand tumour heterogeneity and metastasis.

Inference of Tumor Evolution during Chemotherapy by Computational Modeling and In Situ Analysis of Genetic and Phenotypic Cellular Diversity

TL;DR: The analysis of cellular heterogeneity for genetic and phenotypic features and their spatial distribution in breast tumors pre- and post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy found that intratumor genetic diversity was tumor-subtype specific, and it did not change during treatment in tumors with partial or no response.

Can oncology recapitulate paleontology? Lessons from species extinctions

TL;DR: Paleontology can show the conditions that lead to extinction and the characteristics of species that make them resistant to extinction, and these lessons could be translated to improve cancer therapy and prognosis.

Metronomics as Maintenance Treatment in Oncology: Time for Chemo-Switch

TL;DR: Gatenby’s hypothesis of controlling tumor growth rather than eradicating it and treating it like a chronic disease may be more meaningful and pave the way for long-term cost-effective treatment.

Many private mutations originate from the first few divisions of a human colorectal adenoma

TL;DR: It is found that ITH can be remarkably well structured by measuring point mutations, chromosome copy numbers, and DNA passenger methylation from opposite sides and individual glands of a 6 cm human colorectal adenoma.

The Influence of Hydroxylation on Maintaining CpG Methylation Patterns: A Hidden Markov Model Approach

TL;DR: An extended hidden Markov model capable of accurately describing the regional contribution of 5hmC to demethylation dynamics is developed and shows that5hmC has a strong impact on replication dependent dem methylation, mainly by impairing methylation maintenance.
