Consensus Statement on Circulating Biomarkers for Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-06-01)CONTEXT: In advanced prostate cancer (PC), there is increasing investigation of circulating biomarkers, including quantitation and characterization of circulating tumour cells and cell-free nucleic acids, for therapeutic ... -
Consistent and invertible deformation vector fields for a breathing anthropomorphic phantom: a post-processing framework for the XCAT phantom.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-08-13)Breathing motion is challenging for radiotherapy planning and delivery. This requires advanced four-dimensional (4D) imaging and motion mitigation strategies and associated validation tools with known deformations. Numerical ... -
Constitutional mutation in CDKN2A is associated with long term survivorship in multiple myeloma: a case report.
(BMC, 2017-11-06)BACKGROUND: Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells associated with significantly reduced survival. Long term survivorship from myeloma is very rare and despite advances in its treatment the disease is generally ... -
Constitutive regulation of mitochondrial morphology by Aurora A kinase depends on a predicted cryptic targeting sequence at the N-terminus.
(ROYAL SOC, 2018-06-13)Aurora A kinase (AURKA) is a major regulator of mitosis and an important driver of cancer progression. The roles of AURKA outside of mitosis, and how these might contribute to cancer progression, are not well understood. ... -
Contemporary outcomes from the use of regular imaging to detect relapse in high-risk cutaneous melanoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-02-01)BACKGROUND: Agreement on the utility of imaging follow-up in patients with high-risk melanoma is lacking. A UK consensus statement recommends a surveillance schedule of CT or positron-emission tomography-CT and MRI brain ... -
Contemporary Tailored Oncology Treatment of Biliary Tract Cancers.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2019-12-18)Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are poor prognosis malignancies with limited treatment options. Capecitabine has recently emerged as an effective agent in the adjuvant setting; however, treatment of advanced disease is still ... -
Context matters-consensus molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer as biomarkers for clinical trials.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-04-01)The Colorectal Cancer Subtyping Consortium identified four gene expression consensus molecular subtypes, CMS1 (immune), CMS2 (canonical), CMS3 (metabolic), and CMS4 (mesenchymal), using multiple microarray or RNA-sequencing ... -
Contraceptive progestins with androgenic properties stimulate breast epithelial cell proliferation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-07)Hormonal contraception exposes women to synthetic progesterone receptor (PR) agonists, progestins, and transiently increases breast cancer risk. How progesterone and progestins affect the breast epithelium is poorly ... -
Contrast enhancement of carotid adventitial vasa vasorum as a biomarker of radiation-induced atherosclerosis.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-07-01)PURPOSE: Abnormal proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum (vv) occurs early at sites of atherosclerosis and is thought to be an early biomarker of vascular damage. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect this ... -
Contrast-Enhanced CT Density Predicts Response to Sunitinib Therapy in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients.
(2017-08)The first-line therapy in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), sunitinib, exhibits an objective response rate of approximately 30%. Therapeutic alternatives such as other tyrosine kinase inhibitors, VEGF inhibitors, or ... -
Contributions to drug resistance in glioblastoma derived from malignant cells in the sub-ependymal zone.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-01-01)Glioblastoma, the most common and aggressive adult brain tumor, is characterized by extreme phenotypic diversity and treatment failure. Through fluorescence-guided resection, we identified fluorescent tissue in the ... -
