Intra-tumour IgA1 is common in cancer and is correlated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer.
A high frequency of IgA1-positive tumour cells was found in tissue micro-arrays of oesophagus, colon, testis, lung, breast, bladder and ovarian cancer. IgA1 was observed in the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane. A correlation was found between intra-tumour IgA1 and poor overall survival in a large cohort of bladder cancer patients (n = 99, p = 0.011, log-rank test). The number of IgA1-positive ...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Quantification of Intra-tumour Heterogeneity
As sequencing efforts continue to reveal the extent of the intratumor heterogeneity (ITH) present in human cancers, the importance of evolutionary studies attempting to trace its etiology has increased. Sequencing multiple samples or tumor regions from the same patient has become affordable and is an effective way of tracing these evolutionary pathways, understanding selection, and detecting cl...
متن کاملTumour response in metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors – assessment of intra-tumour heterogeneity
Intra-tumour heterogeneity is a common molecular phenomenon in metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma (mRCC), representing the genetic complexity of a tumour with multiple metastatic sites. The present commentary discusses the observed phenomena of phenotypic intra-tumour heterogeneity in mRCC patients treated with the tyrosine kinase inhibitors sunitinib or pazopanib. Here, drug response can be...
متن کاملCatch my drift? Making sense of genomic intra-tumour heterogeneity☆☆☆
The cancer genome is shaped by three components of the evolutionary process: mutation, selection and drift. While many studies have focused on the first two components, the role of drift in cancer evolution has received little attention. Drift occurs when all individuals in the population have the same likelihood of producing surviving offspring, and so by definition a drifting population is on...
متن کاملOverexpression of DNAJC12 predicts poor response to neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer.
Genes associated with protein folding have been found to have certain prognostic significance in a subset of cancers. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical impact of DNAJC12 expression in patients with rectal cancers receiving neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) followed by surgery. Through data mining from a public transcriptomic dataset of rectal cancer focusing on gen...
