Título: | Every which way? On predicting tumor evolution using cancer progression models |
Autor: | Díaz-Uriarte, Ramón CSIC ORCID; Vasallo, Claudia CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 2019 | Editor: | Public Library of Science | Citación: | PLoS Computational Biology 15(8): e1007246 (2019) | Resumen: | Successful prediction of the likely paths of tumor progression is valuable for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment purposes. Cancer progression models (CPMs) use cross-sectional samples to identify restrictions in the order of accumulation of driver mutations and thus CPMs encode the paths of tumor progression. Here we analyze the performance of four CPMs to examine whether they can be used to predict the true distribution of paths of tumor progression and to estimate evolutionary unpredictability. Employing simulations we show that if fitness landscapes are single peaked (have a single fitness maximum) there is good agreement between true and predicted distributions of paths of tumor progression when sample sizes are large, but performance is poor with the currently common much smaller sample sizes. Under multi-peaked fitness landscapes (i.e., those with multiple fitness maxima), performance is poor and improves only slightly with sample size. In all cases, detection regime (when tumors are sampled) is a key determinant of performance. Estimates of evolutionary unpredictability from the best performing CPM, among the four examined, tend to overestimate the true unpredictability and the bias is affected by detection regime; CPMs could be useful for estimating upper bounds to the true evolutionary unpredictability. Analysis of twenty-two cancer data sets shows low evolutionary unpredictability for several of the data sets. But most of the predictions of paths of tumor progression are very unreliable, and unreliability increases with the number of features analyzed. Our results indicate that CPMs could be valuable tools for predicting cancer progression but that, currently, obtaining useful predictions of paths of tumor progression from CPMs is dubious, and emphasize the need for methodological work that can account for the probably multi-peaked fitness landscapes in cancer. | Descripción: | © 2019 Diaz-Uriarte, Vasallo. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007246 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/206536 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007246 | ISSN: | 1553-734X | E-ISSN: | 1553-7358 |
