The paper identifies microbiome markers in primary colorectal cancer tumors that predict distant metastasis risk using cohort data and molecular techniques.

This study identifies Candida albicans colonization in colorectal tumors as a factor linked to reduced survival and impaired radiation response.

The paper uses case-control data from over 400,000 women to classify BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants, finding high consistency with ClinVar annotations for 785 previously unclassified variants.

This study evaluates breast cancer risks associated with pathogenic variant type and location in BRCA2 and other genes, finding differential risks based on variant position.

This paper develops polygenic risk scores for breast cancer prediction in women of African ancestry by combining African and European ancestry datasets, improving prediction accuracy.
