Originating the primary tumor, CTCs seed metastases, which account for majority cancer-related deaths. We demonstrate analyses whole genome single CTCs, are highly needed personalized treatment. discovered that copy number variations (CNVs), major genomic variations, specific to types, reproducible cell cell, and even patient patient. hypothesize CNVs at certain loci selected lead...
Esophageal squamous dysplasia is believed to be the precursor lesion of esophageal cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, genetic evolution from ESCC remains poorly understood. Here, we applied multi-region whole-exome sequencing samples two cohorts, 45 patients with matched and samples, 13 tumor-free only samples. Our analysis reveals that heavily mutated harbors most driver events reported in ESCC. Moreover, polyclonal, remarkable heterogeneity often observed between tumors their neighboring...
Copy number alteration (CNA) is a major contributor to genome instability, hallmark of cancer. Here, we studied genomic alterations in single primary tumor cells and circulating (CTCs) from the same patient. Single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) both samples occurred sporadically, whereas CNAs among emerged accumulatively rather than abruptly, converging toward CNA CTCs. Focal affecting MYC gene PTEN were observed only minor portion but present all CTCs, suggesting strong selection metastasis....

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor with high rate of metastasis and recurrence. Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has emerged as promising type immunotherapy in advanced HCC, treatment ICB alone achieves an objective remission less than 20%. Thus, combination therapy strategies needed to improve the response therapeutic effect. A light-triggered disassembly nanoplatform (TB/PTX@RTK) co-loaded aggregation induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer (TB) paclitaxel...
Abstract In pancreatic cancer, adenosquamous carcinoma (PASC) containing both ductal adenocarcinoma and squamous in the same tumour represents ∼4% of total incidence. To date, genomic features this mixed are still unknown. We analysed genomes 17 PASCs 34 adenocarcinomas (PDACs), showed that PASC carried highly enriched TP53 mutations 3p loss as compared with PDAC. also adenomatous components harboured comparable alterations, suggesting two cellular develop from progenitor cancer cells. Our...
