Cancer clones- mixing and spreading

Posted by Catherine Potenski | Categories: Cancer, Genomics

Cancer clones- mixing and spreading

The trajectory of tumor cells during metastasis can be influenced by many factors, including the physical environment and the genetic makeup of metastatic clones. In high-grade serous ovarian cancer, there are limited barriers in the intraperitoneal space, allowing for extensive spreading and mixing of tumor cells. A recent article published in Nature Genetics explores these different patterns of clonal evolution in metastatic ovarian cancer using a combination of bulk and single cell sequencing.  Read more

Paper cranes are the symbol for the Small Cell Ovarian Cancer center

On March 23, Nature Genetics published 3 related papers reporting the finding that SMARCA4 is frequently mutated in a rare ovarian cancer type, small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) [Jelinic et al 2014, Ramos et al 2014, Witkowski et al 2014]  … Read more
