Daniel Brewer from Norwich Medical School at UEA and The Genome Analysis Centre (TGAC) said: “Prostate cancer becomes lethal once it spreads from the prostate and this study has given us a unique insight into the way this occurs.”
“Contrary to the established simple view of one ‘seed’ of cancer moving from the prostate to other organs, we have firmly established that the process is much more complex and dynamic. Cancer cells are continuously interchanged between all organs where cancer has been established and new sites are established both from the prostate and other organs. This step will help scientist develop new approaches in tackling this wide-spread disease.”

The evolutionary history of lethal metastatic prostate cancer

One of our papers is out today and it's in Nature.  It is a genomic study that looks at the sequence of samples from multiple sites where cancer has invaded in prostate cancer patients.  From this we have been able to elucidate the genetic evolution of the cancer when it spreads from the prostate. Pretty amazing stuff.
