Evolutionary dynamics in pre-invasive neoplasia.
Mutational processes occur in normal tissues from conception throughout life. Field cancerization describes the preconditioning of an area of epithelium to tumor growth. Pre-invasive lesions may arise in these fields, however...

Timing the Landmark Events in the Evolution of Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer
TJ Mitchell, Grant Stewart
Jul 24, 2018
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma is characterized by near-universal loss of the short arm of chromosome 3, deleting several tumor suppressor genes. We analyzed whole genomes from 95 biopsies across 33 patients with clear cell...

The Promising Connection Between Data Science and Evolutionary Theory in Oncology.
Theoretical and empirical work over the past several decades suggests that oncogenesis and disease progression represents an evolutionary story. Despite this knowledge, current anti-resistance strategies to drugs are often...

Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth
The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study...
