From page B10 This is thanks to highly sophisticated equipment that provides detailed information about the genetics of tumours, where the cancer story starts. In 2009, Dr. Samuel Aparicio and Dr. Sohrab Shah first decoded the three billion letters in the DNA sequence of a metastatic breast cancer tumour, uncovering all the mutations or faults that caused the cancer to spread. This work took weeks compared to the decoding of the first human genome in 2001, which took years. Because of the efficiency of next-generation DNA sequencing technology, this critical discovery was a watershed moment that helped scientists to better understand the causes and behaviour of breast cancer and to develop customized, personalized treatments. Three years later, breast cancer was reclassified into 10 new categories, based on the genetic makeup of a woman’s tumour. This breakthrough was followed by an announcement of the results of another landmark study that led to the decoding of triple-negative breast cancer, one of the most serious types of breast cancer and one that accounts for about 25 per cent of deaths from the disease. With a diversity of mutations, each one must be treated as a unique entity for more effective results.

Donors - Nite of Hope 2015
And in a separate study, a protein identified as critical in the survival of this sub-type can be targeted with an inhibitor to turn it off, thus providing the prospect of a novel therapeutic avenue. And in December 2014, breast cancer cell populations were studied using genomic sequencing and mathematical computation to measure just how cancers develop and change over time. This was done to predict cancer’s growth trajectory and identify just which cells would survive and flourish. Furthermore it will help identify a ‘super cell’ that can be tracked in order to stay ahead of the cancer’s progression. Progress since 1999 is easily mapped and clearly accelerating. Earlier detection allows for more options: targeted, customized and individualized treatments fitting the biology of each tumour. The days of one-size-fits-all treatment are past. Five-year survival for breast cancer in BC is now 91.8 per cent, and this is no accident. Research in B.C. is world-class and our esteemed scientists are collaborating with teams around the globe, racing to reach a future without breast cancer. Nite of Hope Richmond’s legacy is one of hope and we have all benefitted from its focus and stellar efforts over the past 17 years. — Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation
