TL;DR: Recurrent mutations in the active site of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) occurred in a large fraction of young patients and in most patients with secondary GBMs and were associated with an increase in overall survival.

TL;DR: It is found that pancreatic cancers contain an average of 63 genetic alterations, the majority of which are point mutations, which defined a core set of 12 cellular signaling pathways and processes that were each genetically altered in 67 to 100% of the tumors.

TL;DR: The ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types was evaluated and suggested that ctDNA is a broadly applicable, sensitive, and specific biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors rely on data generated by sequencing the genomes of seven pancreatic cancer metastases to evaluate the clonal relationships among primary and metastatic cancers and find that clonal populations that give rise to distant metastases are represented within the primary carcinoma, but these clones are genetically evolved from the original parental, non-metastatic clone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of circulating tumor dna in early and late stage human malignancies
Chetan Bettegowda,Mark Sausen,Rebecca J. Leary,Isaac Kinde,Nishant Agrawal,Bjarne Bartlett,Hao Wang,Brandon Luber,Kenneth W. Kinzler,Bert Vogelstein,Nickolas Papadopoulos +10 more
TL;DR: Digital PCR-based technologies used to evaluate the ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types suggest that ctDNA is a sensitive, specific and robust biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes in patients with several multiple different types of cancer.
