What is Cancer?

16.0K
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of...

Cancer

56.4K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Cancer Therapies

10.9K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Cancer Vaccines

1.4K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

    Area of Science:

    • Genomics
    • Computational Biology
    • Cancer Research

    Background:

    • Identifying genomic patterns in tumors is crucial for understanding and treating cancers beyond tissue-specific boundaries.
    • Discovering cancer driver genes can help extend effective therapies.
    • Current methods may lack efficiency or scalability for comprehensive genomic analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a robust and fast algorithm for discovering cancer driver genes.
    • To introduce CaMoDi (Cancer Module Discovery) for unsupervised clustering of gene expression data.
    • To enable tissue-independent genomic characterization of tumors.

    Main Methods:

    • Unsupervised clustering of similarly expressed genes across cancer patients.
    • Development of the CaMoDi algorithm for module discovery.
    • Comparative analysis with existing methods (CONEXIC, AMARETTO) on TCGA Pan-Cancer dataset.

    Main Results:

    • CaMoDi demonstrates superior performance across computational and statistical metrics.
    • The algorithm is algorithmically simple and scalable.
    • CaMoDi discovers modules with better average consistency and homogeneity compared to CONEXIC and AMARETTO.

    Conclusions:

    • CaMoDi is a novel method for Cancer Module Discovery.
    • It achieves comparable or better performance than existing methods on the TCGA Pan-Cancer dataset.
    • CaMoDi offers an order-of-magnitude improvement in computational run time.
