Quality of life with palbociclib plus fulvestrant in previously treated hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer: patient-reported outcomes from the PALOMA-3 trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2016-06-01)BACKGROUND: In the PALOMA-3 study, palbociclib plus fulvestrant demonstrated improved progression-free survival compared with fulvestrant plus placebo in hormone receptor-positive, HER2- endocrine-resistant metastatic ... -
Quality of Life With Pembrolizumab for Recurrent and/or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: KEYNOTE-040.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-02-01)BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) affects health-related quality of life (HRQoL); few treatments have demonstrated clinically meaningful HRQoL benefit. KEYNOTE-040 evaluated pembrolizumab vs standard ... -
Quality of life with talazoparib after platinum or multiple cytotoxic non-platinum regimens in patients with advanced breast cancer and germline BRCA1/2 mutations: patient-reported outcomes from the ABRAZO phase 2 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)BACKGROUND: Talazoparib (1 mg/day) exhibited promising efficacy and safety in patients with advanced breast cancer during ABRAZO (NCT02034916); this study evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PROs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: ... -
Quality of life, long-term survivors and long-term outcome from the ABC-02 study.
(2016-04)Background The ABC-02 (Advanced Biliary Tract Cancer) study established cisplatin and gemcitabine (CisGem) as the standard first-line chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer (BTC). ... -
Quality of treatment plans and accuracy of in vivo portal dosimetry in hybrid intensity-modulated radiation therapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy for prostate cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-08-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Delivering selected parts of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans using step-and-shoot intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) beams has the potential to increase plan quality by allowing ... -
Quantification and dosimetry of small volumes including associated uncertainty estimation.
(SPRINGER, 2022-12-13)BACKGROUND: Accurate quantification of radioactivity in a source of interest relies on accurate registration between SPECT and anatomical images, and appropriate correction of partial volume effects (PVEs). For small ... -
Quantification of Differential Response of Tumour and Normal Cells to Microbeam Radiation in the Absence of FLASH Effects.
(MDPI, 2021-06-29)Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) is a preclinical method of delivering spatially-fractionated radiotherapy aiming to improve the therapeutic window between normal tissue complication and tumour control. Previously, MRT was ... -
