Mutations in pathways depending on BRCA1 and BRCA2 may increase cancer risks from an environmental carcinogen [PDF]
Recently, the President’s Cancer Panel [2008-2009] protested that preventive action is not taken when uncertainty exists about potential harm from a chemical, because the US regulatory approach demands that a hazard be incontrovertibly ...

Deep Neural Networks integrating genomics and histopathological images for predicting stages and survival time-to-event in colon cancer [PDF]
There exists unexplained diverse variation within the predefined colon cancer stages using only features either from genomics or histopathological whole slide images as prognostic factors. Unraveling this variation will bring about improved in staging and treatment outcome, hence motivated by the advancement of Deep Neural Network libraries and ...

An agent-based modelling framework to study growth mechanisms in EGFR-L858R mutant alveolar type II cells [PDF]
Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are common in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in never-smoker patients. However, these mutations are not always carcinogenic, and have recently been reported in histologically normal lung tissue from patients with and without lung cancer.
