Evaluation of the use and efficacy of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy in angiosarcoma: a multicentre study.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)INTRODUCTION: Angiosarcomas constitute approximately 2% to 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas, are characterised by an aggressive clinical behaviour and poor outcome. Optimal management of localised angiosarcomas consists of ... -
Evaluation of therapeutic radiographer contouring for magnetic resonance image guided online adaptive prostate radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The implementation of MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy has facilitated the extension of therapeutic radiographers' roles to include contouring, thus releasing the clinician from attending ... -
Evaluation of three presets for four-dimensional cone beam CT in lung radiotherapy verification by visual grading analysis.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2016-07-01)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate three image acquisition presets for four-dimensional cone beam CT (CBCT) to identify an optimal preset for lung tumour image quality while minimizing dose and acquisition time. METHODS: Nine patients ... -
Everolimus Added to Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy in Patients With High-Risk Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Primary Breast Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-11-10)PURPOSE: Everolimus, an oral inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, improves progression-free survival in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) in postmenopausal women with aromatase inhibitor-resistant metastatic ... -
Evidence for a novel overlapping coding sequence in POLG initiated at a CUG start codon.
(BMC, 2020-03-06)BACKGROUND: POLG, located on nuclear chromosome 15, encodes the DNA polymerase γ(Pol γ). Pol γ is responsible for the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Pol γ is the only DNA polymerase found in mitochondria ... -
Evidence of Chemoresponsiveness in Unresectable Metastatic Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma.
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2023-01-16)Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a soft tissue neoplasm of intermediate biological potential. Typically a slow-growing tumor, it can recur locally. Rarely, it manifests as a soft tissue sarcoma capable of metastasis. ... -
Evidence of Novel Susceptibility Variants for Prostate Cancer and a Multiancestry Polygenic Risk Score Associated with Aggressive Disease in Men of African Ancestry.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-02-27)BACKGROUND: Genetic factors play an important role in prostate cancer (PCa) susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: To discover common genetic variants contributing to the risk of PCa in men of African ancestry. DESIGN, SETTING, AND ... -
Evidence that the 5p12 Variant rs10941679 Confers Susceptibility to Estrogen-Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer through FGF10 and MRPS30 Regulation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-06)Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed increased breast cancer risk associated with multiple genetic variants at 5p12. Here, we report the fine mapping of this locus using data from 104,660 subjects from 50 ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(2020-01)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-08)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Evolution of complexity in the zebrafish synapse proteome.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-02)The proteome of human brain synapses is highly complex and is mutated in over 130 diseases. This complexity arose from two whole-genome duplications early in the vertebrate lineage. Zebrafish are used in modelling human ... -
Evolution of kinase polypharmacology across HSP90 drug discovery.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-10-21)Most small molecules interact with several target proteins but this polypharmacology is seldom comprehensively investigated or explicitly exploited during drug discovery. Here, we use computational and experimental methods ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of neoantigens in growing tumors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-10-01)Cancers accumulate mutations that lead to neoantigens, novel peptides that elicit an immune response, and consequently undergo evolutionary selection. Here we establish how negative selection shapes the clonality of ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of residual disease in human glioblastoma.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-03-01)BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive adult brain malignancy against which conventional surgery and chemoradiation provide limited benefit. Even when a good treatment response is obtained, recurrence ... -
Evolutionary genetic algorithm identifies IL2RB as a potential predictive biomarker for immune-checkpoint therapy in colorectal cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-04-09)Identifying robust predictive biomarkers to stratify colorectal cancer (CRC) patients based on their response to immune-checkpoint therapy is an area of unmet clinical need. Our evolutionary algorithm Atlas Correlation ... -
Evolutionary selection of alleles in the melanophilin gene that impacts on prostate organ function and cancer risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-02-26)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Several hundred inherited genetic variants or SNPs that alter the risk of cancer have been identified through genome-wide association studies. In populations of European ancestry, these variants ... -
