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 ... -
Controversial issues in the neoadjuvant treatment of triple-negative breast cancer.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2019-10-01)Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), as a collective group of heterogenous tumours, displays the highest rate of distant recurrence and lowest survival from metastatic disease across breast cancer subtypes. However, a ... -
Controversies in the management of clinical stage 1 testis cancer.
(CANADIAN UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION, 2020-11-01)<jats:p>In November 2018, The Canadian Testis Cancer Workshop was convened. The two-day workshop involved urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, physician’s assistants, residents and ... -
Controversies in the management of patients with soft tissue sarcoma: Recommendations of the Conference on State of Science in Sarcoma 2022.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-11-16)BACKGROUND: Owing to the rarity and heterogeneity in biology and presentation, there are multiple areas in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of soft tissue sarcoma (STS), with no, low-level or conflicting evidence. ... -
Conventional versus hypofractionated high-dose intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer: 5-year outcomes of the randomised, non-inferiority, phase 3 CHHiP trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016-08-01)BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer might have high radiation-fraction sensitivity that would give a therapeutic advantage to hypofractionated treatment. We present a pre-planned analysis of the efficacy and side-effects of a ... -
Convergent TP53 loss and evolvability in cancer.
(BMC, 2023-09-25)Cancer cell populations evolve by a stepwise process involving natural selection of the fittest variants within a tissue ecosystem context and as modified by therapy. Genomic scrutiny of patient samples reveals an extraordinary ... -
Conveying Equipoise during Recruitment for Clinical Trials: Qualitative Synthesis of Clinicians' Practices across Six Randomised Controlled Trials.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-10-18)BACKGROUND: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are essential for evidence-based medicine and increasingly rely on front-line clinicians to recruit eligible patients. Clinicians' difficulties with negotiating equipoise is ... -
Copy number evolution and its relationship with patient outcome-an analysis of 178 matched presentation-relapse tumor pairs from the Myeloma XI trial.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-12-01)Structural chromosomal changes including copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a major feature of multiple myeloma (MM), however their evolution in context of modern biological therapy is not well characterized. To investigate ... -
Copy Number Profiling of Brazilian Astrocytomas.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2016-07-07)Copy number alterations (CNA) are one of the driving mechanisms of glioma tumorigenesis, and are currently used as important biomarkers in the routine setting. Therefore, we performed CNA profiling of 65 astrocytomas of ... -
Correlation between DNA damage responses of skin to a test dose of radiation and late adverse effects of earlier breast radiotherapy.
