Summary:
Defining the developmental origins of cancer can help uncover cellular mechanisms of cancer development and progression and identify effective treatments, but it has been challenging. In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Moiso and colleagues constructed a developmental map of 33 cancer types, based on which they deconvoluted tumors into developmental components and constructed a deep learning classifier capable of high- accuracy tumor type prediction. See related article by Moiso et al., p. 2566 (4) .

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
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.
Such genes that act...
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...
