Cancer Subtype Identification Using Somatic Mutation Data
www.nature.com/bjc ARTICLE Genetics and Genomics Cancer subtype identification using somatic mutation data Marieke Lydia Kuijjer 1,2, Joseph Nathaniel Paulson1,2,3, Peter Salzman4, Wei Ding5 and John Quackenbush1,2,6 BACKGROUND: With the onset of next-generation sequencing technologies, we have made great progress in identifying recurrent mutational drivers of cancer. As cancer tissues are now frequently screened for specific sets of mutations, a large amount of samples has become available for analysis. Classification of patients with similar mutation profiles may help identifying subgroups of patients who might benefit from specific types of treatment. However, classification based on somatic mutations is challenging due to the sparseness and heterogeneity of the data. METHODS: Here we describe a new method to de-sparsify somatic mutation data using biological pathways. We applied this method to 23 cancer types from The Cancer Genome Atlas, including samples from 5805 primary tumours. RESULTS: We show that, for most cancer types, de-sparsified mutation data associate with phenotypic data. We identify poor prognostic subtypes in three cancer types, which are associated with mutations in signal transduction pathways for which targeted treatment options are available. We identify subtype–drug associations for 14 additional subtypes. Finally, we perform a pan-cancer subtyping analysis and identify nine pan-cancer subtypes, which associate with mutations in four overarching sets of biological pathways. CONCLUSIONS: This study is an important step toward understanding mutational patterns in cancer. British Journal of Cancer (2018) 118:1492–1501; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41416-018-0109-7 INTRODUCTION However, subtype classification using somatic mutations in Cancer is a heterogeneous disease that can develop in different cancer is challenging, mainly because the data are very sparse: tissues and cell types. -
Options for the Treatment of Gemcitabine-Resistant Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
JOP. J Pancreas (Online) 2010 Mar 5; 11(2):113-123. REVIEW Options for the Treatment of Gemcitabine-Resistant Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Ioannis Gounaris, Kamarul Zaki, Pippa Corrie Oncology Centre, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust. Cambridge, United Kingdom Summary Context Pancreatic cancer is noteworthy in that the number of patients dying from the disease is roughly equal to the number diagnosed. For more than a decade, gemcitabine has constituted the standard of care for the palliative treatment of the majority of patients who present with metastatic or relapsed disease, although the survival gains are limited. Despite a median survival of less than 6 months, there is a significant proportion of advanced pancreatic cancer patients who progress on gemcitabine that remains fit and these patients are candidates for second-line treatment. Methods The OVID MEDLINE database was searched from 1950 to present using the MeSH terms “pancreatic neoplasms”, “drug treatment” and “gemcitabine”. After excluding non-relevant results, 31 published studies were identified. These results were supplemented by searching the last three (2007-2009) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Proceedings of Annual Meetings for studies published only in abstract form and reviewing reference lists of published articles. Results and discussion The evidence for second line treatments of metastatic pancreatic cancer consists mostly of single arm, small phase II studies. Oxaliplatin-fluoropyrimidine combinations appear promising and have shown increased survival compared to best supportive care. As the molecular pathways governing pancreatic cancer are unravelled, novel targeted therapies may offer the greatest promise for this disease either given alone, combined with one another, or with cytotoxic agents. -

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.
