Rare Cancers EPIC Working Group approved by the EPIC Steering Committee
The proposed Rare Cancers EPIC Working Group led by Lynnette Fernandez-Cuesta and Matthieu Foll has been approved by the EPIC Steering Committee. We are looking forward to using this Rare Cancers EPIC Working Group as a way to better understand the etiology of neuroendocrine tumors and sarcomas.
New publication in Lung Cancer
Check out our publication in Lung Cancer, entitled “Detection of acquired TERT amplification in addition to predisposing p53 and Rb pathways alterations in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas transformed into small-cell lung cancers” led by our collaborators Anne Mc Leer and Denis Moro-Sibilot. Full paper can be found here.
New publication in the International Journal of Cancer

Oral talk at the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation 2021 Virtual Research Symposium
Alexandra Sexton-Oates presented a short video entitled “Molecular characterization of pulmonary supra-carcinoids through integration of multi-omics data” at the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation 2021 Virtual Research Symposium
Our latest paper from the MESOMICS project is out now in bioRxiv!
We are excited to share the latest work from our MESOMICS project in which we disentangle the molecular, clinical and morphological heterogeneity of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) using deep integrative omics analyses: https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2021.09.27.461908v1. MPM is a rare aggressive cancer associated with asbestos exposure. In the past decade, knowledge on the molecular profile of MPM has
