The genomic and transcriptomic architecture of 2,000 breast tumours reveals novel subgroups

…, Writing committee CurtisChristina 15 16 Shah Sohrab … - Nature, 2012 - nature.com
The elucidation of breast cancer subgroups and their molecular drivers requires integrated
views of the genome and transcriptome from representative numbers of patients. We present …

The clonal and mutational evolution spectrum of primary triple-negative breast cancers

…, P Watson, K Gelmon, S Chia, SF Chin, C Curtis… - Nature, 2012 - nature.com

A Big Bang model of human colorectal tumor growth

…, K Siegmund, MF Press, D Shibata, C Curtis - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
What happens in early, still undetectable human malignancies is unknown because direct
observations are impractical. Here we present and validate a'Big Bang'model, whereby …

Multi-cancer analysis of clonality and the timing of systemic spread in paired primary tumors and metastases

Z Hu, Z Li, Z Ma, C Curtis - Nature genetics, 2020 - nature.com
Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths, but the natural history, clonal evolution
and impact of treatment are poorly understood. We analyzed whole-exome sequencing …
