Deep whole-genome ctDNA chronology of treatment-resistant prostate cancer

Cameron Herberts, Matti Annala, Joonatan Sipola, Sarah W. S. Ng, Xinyi E. Chen, Anssi Nurminen, Olga Korhonen, Kevin Beja, Elena Schonlau, Cecily Q. Bernales, Elie Ritch, Jack V. W. Bacon, Nathan A. Lack, Matti Nykter, Rahul Aggarwal, Eric J. Small, Martin E. Gleave, David A. Quigley, Felix Y. Feng, Kim N. Chi, Alexander W. Wyatt

Summary: This study performed whole-genome sequencing of plasma and synchronous metastases in patients with aggressive prostate cancer, revealing multiple dominant populations in ctDNA and shifts in mutational processes. They found that AR augmentation is the dominant genomic driver of acquired treatment resistance.

Inferring ongoing cancer evolution from single tumour biopsies using synthetic supervised learning

Tom W. Ouellette, Philip Awadalla

Summary: The study presents a synthetic supervised learning method, TumE, that integrates simulated models of cancer evolution with Bayesian neural networks. The method significantly improves accuracy and inference time in detecting positive selection, deconvoluting selected subclonal populations, and estimating subclone frequency. Transfer learning is also utilized to reduce data and computational time, providing reusable deep learning models for the cancer evolution community.

Summary: A study on prostate cancer reveals that interactions between different cell populations can enhance growth and reduce radiation sensitivity. The type of interaction affects the regrowth time after radiation and alters survival rates and cell cycles at the population level.

Spatial profiling of gastric cancer patient-matched primary and locoregional metastases reveals principles of tumour dissemination

Raghav Sundar, Drolaiz H. W. Liu, Gordon G. A. Hutchins, Hayley L. Slaney, Arnaldo N. S. Silva, Jan Oosting, Jeremy D. Hayden, Lindsay C. Hewitt, Cedric C. Y. Ng, Amrita Mangalvedhekar, Sarah B. Ng, Iain B. H. Tan, Patrick Tan, Heike I. Grabsch

Summary: In gastric cancer, intratumoral heterogeneity was observed, with regional lymph node metastases likely originating from deeper subregions of the primary tumor. Therefore, future clinical trials of novel targeted therapies need to consider assessing deeper subregions of the primary tumor and/or metastases, as several therapeutically relevant genes are only mutated, overexpressed, or amplified in these regions.

Summary: This study presents reference call sets obtained from paired tumor-normal genomic DNA samples from a breast cancer cell line and a lymphoblastoid cell line. These samples were partially validated for somatic mutations and germline variants through whole-exome sequencing and targeted sequencing. The use of these samples can help calibrate clinical sequencing pipelines and provide a unique resource for benchmarking 'tumor-only' or 'matched tumor-normal' analyses.

Impairment of a distinct cancer-associated fibroblast population limits tumour growth and metastasis

Ute Jungwirth, Antoinette van Weverwijk, Rachel J. Evans, Liam Jenkins, David Vicente, John Alexander, Qiong Gao, Syed Haider, Marjan Iravani, Clare M. Isacke

Summary: The study reveals that the genetic deletion of Endo180 in a subset of cancer-associated fibroblasts impairs tumor fibroblast contractility and viability, resulting in reduced tumor growth and metastasis. These findings provide important insights into how tumor cells adapt to non-activated stroma during early stages of metastatic colonization.

Dynamic changes in longitudinal circulating tumour DNA profile during metastatic colorectal cancer treatment

Sheehyun Kim, Yoojoo Lim, Jun-Kyu Kang, Hwang-Phill Kim, Hanseong Roh, Su Yeon Kim, Dongin Lee, Duhee Bang, Seung-Yong Jeong, Kyu Joo Park, Sae-Won Han, Tae-You Kim

Summary: This study analyzed serial blood samples from metastatic colorectal cancer patients and sequenced ctDNA to evaluate its clinical utility. The results showed that ctDNA clearance after chemotherapy was associated with longer progression-free survival, independent of radiological response. Longitudinal ctDNA monitoring detected ctDNA progression earlier than radiological progressive disease in a significant percentage of patients.
