This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of promising advances in cancer research, there are considerable and even alarming gaps in the fundamental knowledge and understanding of ovarian cancer. Researchers now know that ovarian cancer is not a single disease-several distinct subtypes exist with different origins, risk factors, genetic mutations, biological behaviors, and prognoses. However, persistent questions have impeded progress toward improving the prevention, early detection, treatment, and management of ovarian cancers. Failure to significantly improve morbidity and mortality during the past several decades is likely due to several factors, including the lack of research being performed by specific disease subtype, lack of definitive knowledge of the cell of origin and disease progression, and incomplete understanding of genetic and non-genetic risk factors. Ovarian Cancers examines the state of the science in ovarian cancer research, identifies key gaps in the evidence base and the challenges to addressing those gaps, considers opportunities for advancing ovarian cancer research, and examines avenues for translation and dissemination of new findings and communication of new information to patients and others. This study makes recommendations for public- and private-sector efforts that could facilitate progress in reducing the incidence of morbidity and mortality from ovarian cancers.

This book was released on 1999-04-23 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the histological typing of ovarian tumours is the focus of this volume, other aspects of investigation of a specimen of ovarian tumour are also important. Some of these aspects are mentioned in the text or illustrated. They include tumour grading, which is impor tantprognostically and therapeutically for certain types ofovarian tu mour, quantification ofcomponents in mixed tumours and evaluation of the stroma of certain tumours that are associated with endocrine function. Grading methodologies have varied from one tumour type to another and from one group of investigators to another for the same type of tumour. Because a standard internationally recognized grading methodology has not been established, no specific guidance is presented in this volume. Nevertheless, grading by any generally acceptable method should be incorporated in the diagnosis whenever appropriate. The clinical and pathological classification of the extent of tu mour growth (staging) should be taken into account for the purposes of treatment and prognosis. The TNlV1/FIGO system is therefore in cluded (p. 45).

Download or read book Cancer Evolution written by Charles Swanton and published by Perspectives Cshl. This book was released on 2017 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tumor progression is driven by mutations that confer growth advantages to different subpopulations of cancer cells. As a tumor grows, these subpopulations expand, accumulate new mutations, and are subjected to selective pressures from the environment, including anticancer interventions. This process, termed clonal evolution, can lead to the emergence of therapy-resistant tumors and poses a major challenge for cancer eradication efforts. Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine examines cancer progression as an evolutionary process and explores how this way of looking at cancer may lead to more effective strategies for managing and treating it. The contributors review efforts to characterize the subclonal architecture and dynamics of tumors, understand the roles of chromosomal instability, driver mutations, and mutation order, and determine how cancer cells respond to selective pressures imposed by anticancer agents, immune cells, and other components of the tumor microenvironment. They compare cancer evolution to organismal evolution and describe how ecological theories and mathematical models are being used to understand the complex dynamics between a tumor and its microenvironment during cancer progression. The authors also discuss improved methods to monitor tumor evolution (e.g., liquid biopsies) and the development of more effective strategies for managing and treating cancers (e.g., immunotherapies). This volume will therefore serve as a vital reference for all cancer biologists as well as anyone seeking to improve clinical outcomes for patients with cancer.

Book excerpt: Paula Cunnea1, Ed Curry1, Liz Christie2, Katherine Nixon1, Chun Hei Kwok1, Kerstin Thol1, Ratri Wulandari1, Iain McNeish1, David Bowtell2, Christina Fotopoulou11Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College London, United Kingdom. 2Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia.BackgroundHigh-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is typified by high degrees of genomic instability and heterogeneity, with the majority of patients eventually acquiring resistance to platinum chemotherapy. Matching the best treatment options to patients remains challenging due to diverse platinum resistance mechanisms and limited effective predictive biomarkers. This study aims to understand the extent of intra-tumoural heterogeneity (ITH) in advanced stage HGSOC, and how this changes over time at relapse, and define the link between ITH at molecular and phenotypic levels.MethodologyHigh tumour-load HGSOC patients (n=49) undergoing radical upfront-debulking underwent a tumour mapping of their tumour dissemination patterns. Tumour biopsies were collected (range 4-15, median=9), placed in short-term cultures, treated with cisplatin and apoptosis/viability assayed. DNA was extracted (5 tumours per patient) and Illumina Human OmniExpress genotyping performed. Allele-specific copy number (CN) was quantified using ASCAT. The sum of differences in gene-level CN estimates was used to define genomic dissimilarity of deposits. When relapsed, patients had paired biopsies. ResultsTumour deposits varied extensively to each other at the copy-number level, possibly reflecting divergence from different tumour sub-clones. Different degrees of heterogeneity were observed in different patients, which appeared to correlate with progression-free survival and variance in apoptosis induction across tumours in the patient series. Patients who developed platinum-resistant disease tended to be more polyclonal. Extensive variations in CCNE1 CN were observed across multiple tumours in the same patients.ConclusionVast heterogeneity is observed at the phenotypic and genomic level in HGSOC patients with direct correlation with later development of platinum-resistant disease. Extensive variations in CCNE1 CN across multiple intra-abdominal samples within the same patient, suggests that single site biopsies cannot accurately represent overall disseminated HGSOC biology and has implications for overinterpretation of studies relating to outcome and platinum-resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genomic sequencing technologies have augmented the classification of cancer beyond tissue of origin and towards a molecular taxonomy of cancer. This has created opportunities to guide treatment decisions for individual patients with cancer based on their cancer’s unique molecular characteristics, also known as precision cancer medicine. The purpose of this text will be to describe the contribution and need for multiple disciplines working together to deliver precision cancer medicine. This entails a multi-disciplinary approach across fields including molecular pathology, computational biology, clinical oncology, cancer biology, drug development, genetics, immunology, and bioethics. Thus, we have outlined a current text on each of these fields as they work together to overcome various challenges and create opportunities to deliver precision cancer medicine. As trainees and junior faculty enter their respective fields, this text will provide a framework for understanding the role and responsibility for each specialist to contribute to this team science approach.

Download or read book Genomic Applications in Pathology written by George Jabboure Netto and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-10 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent advances in genomics are continuing to reshape our approach to diagnostics, prognostics and therapeutics in oncologic and other disorders. A paradigm shift in pharmacogenomics and in the diagnosis of genetic inherited diseases and infectious diseases is unfolding as the result of implementation of next generation genomic technologies. With rapidly growing knowledge and applications driving this revolution, along with significant technologic and cost changes, genomic approaches are becoming the primary methods in many laboratories and for many diseases. As a result, a plethora of clinical genomic applications have been implemented in diagnostic pathology laboratories, and the applications and demands continue to evolve rapidly. This has created a tremendous need for a comprehensive resource on genomic applications in clinical and anatomic pathology. We believe that our current textbook provides such a resource to practicing molecular pathologists, hematopathologists and other subspecialized pathologists, general pathologists, pathology and other trainees, oncologists, geneticists and a growing spectrum of other clinicians. With periodic updates and a sufficiently rapid time from submission to publication, this textbook will be the resource of choice for many professionals and teaching programs. Its focus on genomics parallels the evolution of these technologies as primary methods in the clinical lab. The rapid evolution of genomics and its applications in medicine necessitates the (frequent) updating of this publication. This text will provide a state-of-the art review of the scientific principles underlying next generation genomic technologies and the required bioinformatics approaches to analyses of the daunting amount of data generated by current and emerging genomic technologies. Implementation roadmaps for various clinical assays such as single gene, gene panels, whole exome and whole genome assays will be discussed together with issues related to reporting and the pathologist’s role in interpretation and clinical integration of genomic tests results. Genomic applications for site-specific solid tumors and hematologic neoplasms will be detailed. Genomic applications in pharmacogenomics, inherited genetic diseases and infectious diseases will also be discussed. The latest iteration of practice recommendations or guidelines in genomic testing put forth by stakeholder professional organizations such as the College of American Pathology and the Association for Molecular Pathology, will be discussed as well as regulatory issues and laboratory accreditation related to genomic testing. All chapters will be written by experts in their fields and will include the most up to date scientific and clinical information.
