Cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA) can be used for noninvasive profiling of tumor genomic aberrations. We hypothesized that molecular alterations may inform prognostication in advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC).
Metastatic prostate cancer is a clonally heterogeneous disease state characterized by progressive somatic perturbations. The aim of this study was to identify cell free DNA- (cfDNA-) based alterations and their associations with outcomes in progressive metastatic prostate cancer.
Characterization of the different genomic alterations (GAs) in urothelial carcinoma (UC), by site of origin, may identify contrasting therapeutic opportunities and inform distinct putative pathogenetic mechanisms.
The incidence of penile cancer (PeCa) is increasing worldwide, however, the highest rates are reported in underdeveloped countries. The molecular mechanisms that underly the onset and progression of these tumors are still unclear.
Immune infiltration of tumours is closely associated with clinical outcome in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Tumour-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) regulate cancer progression and are appealing therapeutic targets.
Plasma tumor DNA fraction is prognostic in metastatic cancers. This could improve risk stratification prior to commencing a new treatment. We hypothesized that a second sample collected after one cycle treatment could refine outcome prediction of patients identified as poor prognosis based on plasma DNA collected pre-treatment.
DNA damage response (DDR) genomic alterations may play an important role in clinical outcomes of patients with urothelial cancer (UC). However, data on the prognostic role of DDR gene alterations in patients with advanced UC remains unclear.
Genomic studies of localized and metastatic prostate cancer have identified a high prevalence of clinically actionable alterations including mutations in DNA repair genes. In this manuscript, we review the current knowledge on DNA repair defects in prostate cancer and provide an overview of how these alterations can be targeted towards a personalized prostate cancer management.
