Tumor Evolution
It turns out that tumors do evolve. And the result of the evolution is that sometimes the cancer treatment stops working.
“A new study by researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah observed how breast cancer tumors evolve over time and demonstrated how changes within tumors may contribute to the process by which cancers no longer respond to treatment. Further, the research identifies that some of these changes may be shared across certain treatment-resistant breast cancers.”
“For this study, Werner and her collaborators were able to trace the timeline of treatment of four breast cancer patients, over the course of between two to fifteen years for the patients analyzed. In a unique collaboration between several researchers and medical oncologists, samples of cancerous tissues were collected from breast cancer patients during their regular course of treatment. The tissue samples were then sequenced to study how the samples changed over time and how the tumors responded to each treatment. Using these data, the researchers were able to assess how changes in the tumor coincided with when the patient’s cancer stopped responding to treatment.”
“The ultimate goal for the researchers is to understand what is happening in a patient’s tumor in as close to real time as possible, to predict what will happen next, and to adjust treatment accordingly.
Two new clinical trials set to start early next year at HCI and City of Hope will build on this research. Werner says “ultimately we want to actually predict what is really going to work best for your tumor during the course of your disease. While we’re not ready to apply this to standard patient treatment now, with this work we are one step closer to doing that.”
