Evolving evidence on tumor and germline genetic classification of gliomas: implications for etiology and survival
Abstract:
The Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (BTEC) is an international consortium that has the mission of fostering the development of multi-center and inter-disciplinary collaborations aiming to improve understanding of the etiology, outcomes, and prevention of brain tumors. Mayo Clinic faculty, Robert Jenkins, MD, PhD and Brian Patrick O'Neill, MD, hosted the 16th annual BTEC meeting on June 2-4, 2015, in Rochester, MN, USA. The meeting included presentations that emphasized the impact of new tumor classifications, methodological practices of population studies, as well as intra- and inter-tumoral molecular complexities on patient outcomes. The 2016 meeting will be held in Barcelona, Spain in June.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
