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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Circulating Tumor Cell Clusters Are Oligoclonal Precursors of Breast Cancer Metastasis

TL;DR: Using mouse models with tagged mammary tumors, it is demonstrated that CTC clusters arise from oligoclonal tumor cell groupings and not from intravascular aggregation events, and though rare in the circulation, they greatly contribute to the metastatic spread of cancer.

The clonal and mutational evolution spectrum of primary triple-negative breast cancers

TL;DR: It is shown that understanding the biology and therapeutic responses of patients with TNBC will require the determination of individual tumour clonal genotypes, and for the first time in an epithelial tumour subtype, the relative abundance of clonal frequencies among cases representative of the population is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ultrasensitive method for quantitating circulating tumor DNA with broad patient coverage

TL;DR: It is envisioned that CAPP-Seq could be routinely applied clinically to detect and monitor diverse malignancies, thus facilitating personalized cancer therapy.
