Unraveling Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis-Specific Health-Related Quality of Life: Who Is at Risk for Poor Outcomes.
(MDPI, 2022-06-16)Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare, soft-tissue tumour. These tumours do not metastasize, but their local aggressive tumour growth and unpredictable behaviour can have a significant impact on health-related quality ... -
Unravelling the heterogeneity of soft tissue and bone sarcoma patients' health-related quality of life: a systematic literature review with focus on tumour location.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-01-01)Patients with sarcoma experience many physical and psychological symptoms, adversely affecting their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). HRQoL assessment is challenging due to the diversity of the disease. This review ... -
Unravelling the mechanisms of acquired immunomodulatory drug resistance in multiple myeloma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-12-01)Immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) are a cornerstone of multiple myeloma treatment and newer cereblon E3 ligase modulating drugs (CELMoDs) are in clinical trials. However, a major barrier to improving patient outcomes is ... -
Up-front cell-free DNA next generation sequencing improves target identification in UK first line advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-08-01)BACKGROUND: Genomic sequencing is necessary for first-line advanced non-small cell lung cancer (aNSCLC) treatment decision-making. Tissue next generation sequencing (NGS) is standard but tissue quantity, quality, and ... -
