Cancer is an evolutionary disease, but does knowing a cancer’s evolutionary past help predict its future? Out today in @nature, we learnt the evolution of 2000 lymphoid cancers and found it was highly correlated with clinical outcomes! (1/7)

If tumour genome evolution is deterministic, can we forecast genomic changes? Yes we can! At least for oncogene amps and tumour suppressor dels. @bhernando.bsky.social Angel Fernandez-Sanroman present our method for forecasting driver gene copy number change. Preprint: bit.ly/4kxF14y ⬇️1/
Forecasting oncogene amplification and tumour suppressor deletion
Oncogene amplification and tumour suppressor deletion can drive tumour initiation, progression and treatment resistance. Detection at diagnosis often signals poor prognosis, but it can also enable opp...
