The natural history of cancers can be understood through the lens of evolution given that the
driving forces of cancer development are mutation and selection of fitter clones. Cancer …

Historically, studies of disseminated tumour cells in bone marrow and circulating tumour
cells in peripheral blood have provided crucial insights into cancer biology and the …

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Here we
analysed 1,644 tumour regions sampled at surgery or during follow-up from the first 421 …

Despite recent therapeutic advances in cancer treatment, metastasis remains the principal
cause of cancer death. Recent work has uncovered the unique biology of metastasis …

Driver mutations promote initiation and progression of cancer. Pharmacological treatment
can inhibit the action of the mutant protein; however, drug resistance almost invariably …

A fundamental goal in cancer research is to understand the mechanisms of cell
transformation. This is key to develo** more efficient cancer detection methods and …

Metastasis remains a pivotal characteristic of cancer and is the primary contributor to cancer-
associated mortality. Despite its significance, the mechanisms governing metastasis are not …

Clinical and laboratory studies over recent decades have established branched evolution as
a feature of cancer. However, while grounded in somatic selection, several lines of evidence …

The observation and analysis of intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH), particularly in genomic
studies, has advanced our understanding of the evolutionary forces that shape cancer …

Pancreatic cancer is a genetic disease, and the recurrent genetic alterations characteristic of
pancreatic cancer indicate the cellular processes that are targeted for malignant …
