• Characterization of copy number quiet oral cancer

  Copy number quiet head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are a distinct subset with relatively good prognosis. Previous work has indicated this subset is most commonly found in the oral cavity and is highly enriched for HRAS and CASP8 mutations. TP53 mutations are much less common than in CNA-quiet oral cancers. In this study we corroborate the validity of CNA-quiet tumors as a distinct subset in a large OSCC cohort and further chart clinical, genomic, and immunological characteristics of this subset.

• analysis of immune infiltration in colorectal cancer metastasis

  Metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is the main cause of CRC mortality, with limited treatment options. Although immunotherapy has benefited some cancer patients, mCRC typically lacks the molecular features that respond to this treatment. However, recent studies indicate that the immune microenvironment of mCRC may be modified to enhance the effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. This study aimed to explore the metastatic immune microenvironment by comparing immune cell populations in colorectal liver (CLM), lung (mLu) and peritoneal (PM) metastases.

• Molecular biomarkers in progression from refractory celiac disease to the lethal cancer variety enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL)

  Enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma (EATL) is frequently preceded by a state of refractoriness to the gluten-free diet, called “refractory celiac disease” or RCD. We aim to study which mutations and copy number aberrations are already manifest in RCD and to identify differences between RCD patients that do, and do not, develop EATL. We have applied whole exome sequencing to detect mutations and copy number aberration predictive for progression from RCD to EATL.
