In a new study published in Cancer Discovery, researchers systematically analyzed the genomic evolution of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) across various disease stages, identifying previously unrecognized evolutionary dynamics and genomic alterations linked to disease progression. Through advanced evolutionary modeling, the team revealed specific genetic events and subclonal alterations that drive tumor heterogeneity and impact prognosis. Crucially, this approach led to the discovery of a novel genomic biomarker predictive of patient outcomes. The study's insights provide a deeper understanding of pancreatic cancer’s complex evolutionary biology and offer new avenues for personalized diagnostics and treatment strategies.
