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.

Stochastic hypothesis of transition from inborn neutropenia to AML: interactions of cell population dynamics and population genetics

TL;DR: Surprisingly, stochasticity of the mutation process is incapable of explaining the spread of times at diagnosis of AML in this case; it is necessary to additionally assume a wide spread of proliferative parameters among disease cases.

Cancer modelling: a personal perspective

TL;DR: A description of a useful, simple, and flexible model: multitype branching processes, which represents stages in the cancer progression and shows an improvement over PDE methods in some situations.

Intratumor heterogeneity of chromosome 1, 7, 17, and 18 aneusomies obtained by FISH and association with flow cytometric DNA index in human colorectal adenocarcinomas.

TL;DR: Overall, these data suggest the existence of different aneuploidization routes correlated with specific chromosome aberrations and intratumor homogeneity of 1p deletions appears to be an indication of early occurrence or strong selection.

A multitype infinite-allele branching process with applications to cancer evolution

TL;DR: In this article, the infinite-allele simple branching process of Griffiths and Pakes (1988) was extended to allow the offspring to change types and labels, and limit theorems were given for the growth of the number of labels of a specific type.

High-Resolution ROMA CGH and FISH Analysis of Aneuploid and Diploid Breast Tumors

TL;DR: It is determined that ROMA provides accurate and sensitive detection of duplications, amplifications, and deletions and yields defined boundaries for these events with a resolution of <50 kbp in most cases.
