Mashup Score: 17Cervical Cancer Screening: Somatic Mutations - 15 day(s) ago
Investigators in the Clinical Genetics Branch, led by senior investigator Lisa Mirabello and former research fellow Maísa Pinheiro, used deep targeted sequencing to look for hotspot somatic driver mutations resulting from persistent infection with one of the three most carcinogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV types 16, 18, and 45) in cells collected during routine screening for cervical cancer. These mutations may serve as a clinically meaningful biomarker of carcinogenesis in individuals with persistent HPV infection.

Metastases arise from subsets of cancer cells that disseminate from the primary tumour1,2. The ability of cancer cells to thrive in a new tissue site is influenced by genetic and epigenetic changes that are important for disease initiation and progression, but these factors alone do not p …

Who is a cancer survivor? Years ago, some suggested that the definition should only include people who were cancer-free for a minimum amount of time after their diagnosis. NCI’s definition begins at the time of diagnosis. Below, find the definition of cancer survivor, as well as other survivorship-related and statistical terms.
