Project description:In CRC, 1) to identify epigenetic changes at inter-tumor and intra-tumor level, and 2) to relate intra-tumor clonality to clinical, molecular and histopathologic parameters. From 79 FFPE tumors, 3 different regions were macrodissected: invasive front (IF), digestive tract surface (DTS) and central bulk (CB). Clinical, molecular, and histopathologic parameters were stablished. Epigenetic analysis was performed using Infinium 450K beadchip (Illumina) and R statistics. Intra-tumor regions clustered together by patient. The biggest epigenetic changes were in IF vs DTS/CB. By patient, the most often divergent region was IF (49.4%) comparing with DTS and CB (25.3% in both). It did not correlate with histopathologic, molecular and clinical parameters.Epigenetic clonality is higher at intra-tumor level. The highest changes are observed in IF vs DTS/CB. No association with histopathologic, molecular, and clinical characteristics was found. Cohort of CRC patients (N=17) who recieved quemotherapy (FOLFIRI)
Project description:We report that previously described molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer are associated with the response to therapy in patients with metastatic disease. We also identified a patient population with high FOLFIRI sensitivity, as indicated by their 2.7-fold longer overall survival when treated with FOLFIRI, as first-line regimen, instead of FOLFOX. Our results demonstrate the interest of molecular classifications to develop tailored therapies for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.

Project description:Response rates of 118 colorectal cancer patients to regiments were evaluated by histoculture drug response assay. Affymetrix SNP 6.0 chips were used to determine genotypes of the same colorectal cancer patients. SNPs associated with chemosensitivity to treatment regiments were identified by genome-wide association study. AV: avastin (Bevacizumab), ER: Erbitux (Cetuximab), FXA: bevacizumab + FOLFOX, FXE: Cetuximab + FOLFOX , FRA: Bevacizumab + FOLFIRI, FRE: Cetuximab + FOLFIRI; Numbers (0-100) represent responsiveness to the given drug regimens; the larger, the better responsive to given regimens
Project description:The present data suggest that the infiltration of inactive CD8+ T cells with low clonality is induced by chemotaxis in the HIGH group, possibly leading to poor prognosis of GC patients.
Project description:immunotherapy offers a better prognosis for pancreatic cancer patients. As a direct extension of this work, various new therapy methods that are under exploration and clinical trials could be assessed or evaluated using the newly developed mathematical prognosis model.
