Furthermore, noninvasive approaches using isotope tracing have been employed to measure the flow of nutrients through metabolic pathways in patients. For example, Fan et al. performed a C glucose infusion in human lung cancer patients prior to

Intratumor Heterogeneity in Primary Kidney Cancer Revealed by Metabolic Profiling of Multiple Spatially Separated Samples within Tumors
Metabolic alteration constitutes a hallmark of cancer. Glycolysis and antioxidant pathways in kidney cancer are elevated, with frequent mutation of the VHL gene. Intratumor genetic heterogeneity has been recently demonstrated in kidney cancer. However, intratumor metabolic heterogeneity has not been investigated. Here, we used global metabolomics analysis and tissue slice tracer studies to demo...
متن کاملBRAFV600E immunopositive Melanomas Show Low Frequency of Heterogeneity and Association With Epithelioid Tumor Cells
Treatment of BRAFV600E-mutant melanoma by small molecule inhibitors that target BRAFV600E or MEK kinases is increasingly used in clinical practice and significantly improve patient outcome. However, patients eventually become resistant and therapeutic improvement is required. Molecular diversity within individual tumors (intratumor heterogeneity) and between tumors within a single patient (intr...
متن کاملDiscovering intratumor heterogeneity: the next frontier for pathologists.
Discovering intratumor heterogeneity is a crucial issue in modern oncologic medicine. Highly sophisticated technology such as high-throughput DNA sequencing has demonstrated the real dimension of the problem. The overwhelming majority of malignant tumors show high levels of intratumor heterogeneity when thoroughly studied. Intratumor heterogeneity develops both in temporal and spatial domains a...
متن کاملWords of wisdom. Re: Intratumor heterogeneity and branched evolution revealed by multiregion sequencing.
BACKGROUND Intratumor heterogeneity may foster tumor evolution and adaptation and hinder personalized-medicine strategies that depend on results from single tumor-biopsy samples. METHODS To examine intratumor heterogeneity, we performed exome sequencing, chromosome aberration analysis, and ploidy profiling on multiple spatially separated samples obtained from primary renal carcinomas and asso...
متن کاملCancer Evolution and the Limits of Predictability in Precision Cancer Medicine.
The ability to predict the future behavior of an individual cancer is crucial for precision cancer medicine. The discovery of extensive intratumor heterogeneity and ongoing clonal adaptation in human tumors substantiated the notion of cancer as an evolutionary process. Random events are inherent in evolution and tumor spatial structures hinder the efficacy of selection, which is the only determ...
