Prospective validation of ORACLE, a clonal expression biomarker associated with survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
Nat Cancer
January 2025
Cancer Research UK Lung Cancer Centre of Excellence, University College London Cancer Institute, London, UK.
Human tumors are diverse in their natural history and response to treatment, which in part results from genetic and transcriptomic heterogeneity. In clinical practice, single-site needle biopsies are used to sample this diversity, but cancer biomarkers may be confounded by spatiogenomic heterogeneity within individual tumors. Here we investigate clonally expressed genes as a solution to the sampling bias problem by analyzing multiregion whole-exome and RNA sequencing data for 450 tumor regions from 184 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in the TRACERx study.

Center for the Advancement of Science Leadership and Culture, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Over two decades, initiatives have aimed to enhance STEM undergraduate outcomes, with the inclusive Research Education Community (iREC) emerging as a scalable reform model that supports STEM faculty in implementing course-based research to improve student learning.
- This study utilized pathway modeling to describe the HHMI Science Education Alliance (SEA) iREC, identifying how faculty engagement leads to sustainable adoption and improvement of new teaching strategies through feedback from over 100 participating faculty members.
- The findings indicate that iREC fosters a collaborative environment where STEM faculty can share expertise and data, thereby enhancing their teaching practices and contributing to the overall evolution of undergraduate science education.
Feasibility of an electronic patient-facing cancer family history tool in medically underserved populations.
Genet Med Open
June 2024
Treuman Katz Center for Pediatric Bioethics, Seattle Children's Research Institute, Seattle, WA.
Purpose: We developed an electronic patient-facing family history collection tool including B-RST 3.0, PREMM risk assessments and "limited family knowledge/structure" information designed for primary care settings. We evaluated the tool's performance compared with genetic-counselor-collected information for clinical risk stratification in a population with barriers to access.

Division of Respiratory Health, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), 1095 Willowdale Road, Morgantown, WV, United States.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates respiratory exposures of US home care aides to harmful chemicals while using different cleaning and disinfecting products during bathroom cleaning, focusing on VOCs and QACs present in these products.
- - A total of 22 aides tested three cleaning products: bleach-based, QACs-based, and a "green" product, with air sampling conducted to measure VOCs and QACs in a controlled environment.
- - Results showed the presence of 38 unique VOCs, with many not listed on product labels, highlighting potential health risks due to limited toxicity information and occupational exposure limits for the identified chemicals.
Inter-rater variability in multidisciplinary team meetings of oesophageal and gastro-oesophageal junction cancer on staging, resectability and treatment recommendation: national retrospective multicentre study.
BJS Open
October 2024
Department of Surgical Sciences, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Background: There are differences in oesophageal cancer care across Sweden. According to national guidelines, all patients should be offered equal care, planned and administrated by regional multidisciplinary team meetings. The aim of the study was to investigate differences between regional multidisciplinary team meetings in Sweden regarding clinical staging and treatment recommendations for oesophageal cancer patients.
