Abstract

Cancer develops through a process of somatic evolution 1,2 . Sequencing data from a single biopsy represent a snapshot of this process that can reveal the timing of specific genomic aberrations and the changing influence of mutational processes 3 . Here, by whole-genome sequencing analysis of 2,658 cancers as part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) 4 , we reconstruct the life history and evolution of mutational processes and driver mutation sequences of 38 types of cancer. Early oncogenesis is characterized by mutations in a constrained set of driver genes, and specific copy number gains, such as trisomy 7 in glioblastoma and isochromosome 17q in medulloblastoma. The mutational spectrum changes significantly throughout tumour evolution in 40% of samples. A nearly fourfold diversification of driver genes and increased genomic instability are features of later stages. Copy number alterations often occur in mitotic crises, and lead to simultaneous gains of chromosomal segments. Timing analyses suggest that driver mutations often precede diagnosis by many years, if not decades. Together, these results determine the evolutionary trajectories of cancer, and highlight opportunities for early cancer detection.

  • Loss of TP53 and RB1 likely occurs early in osteosarcoma transformation, with TP53 inactivation required to propagate abnormal genomes, followed by rapid accumulation of driver lesions such as MYC amplification, PTEN loss and deletion of ATRX.

    “Using these genomic aberrations to infer the evolution of the tumours, loss of TP53 and RB1 likely occurs early in the transformation process (with TP53 inactivation required to propagate abnormal genomes 39,40,41 ), followed by rapid accumulation of driver lesions such as MYC amplification, PTEN loss 42 and deletion of ATRX”

  • The most likely order of events for osteosarcoma evolution is loss of TP53 and RB1 as early events, with TP53 loss likely initiating genomic instability, followed by whole-genome doubling, gain of 8q (CMYC) and loss of 10q (PTEN).

    “The most likely order of events for osteosarcoma evolution is loss of TP53 and RB1 as early events, of which TP53 loss is likely the initiator of genomic instability 39,40,41 followed by whole-genome doubling, gain of 8q (CMYC) and loss of 10q (PTEN) 42 .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
