An Overview of X-ray Photon Counting Spectral Imaging (x-CSI) with a Focus on Gold Nanoparticle Quantification in Oncology.
(MDPI, 2021-12-31)This review article offers an overview of the differences between traditional energy integrating (EI) X-ray imaging and the new technique of X-ray photon counting spectral imaging (x-CSI). The review is motivated by the ... -
An update on the management of sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis: a European Consensus Initiative between Sarcoma PAtients EuroNet (SPAEN) and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)/Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group (STBSG).
(2017-10)Desmoid-type fibromatosis is a rare and locally aggressive monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation characterized by a variable and often unpredictable clinical course. Currently, there is no established or evidence-based ... -
Anal squamous cell carcinoma in a high HIV prevalence population.
(SPRINGER, 2021-02-11)Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare cancer that has a rapidly increasing incidence in areas with highly developed economies. ASCC is strongly associated with HIV and there appears to be increasing numbers of ... -
Analgesic Use and Ovarian Cancer Risk: An Analysis in the Ovarian Cancer Cohort Consortium.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-02-01)BACKGROUND: Aspirin use is associated with reduced risk of several cancers. A pooled analysis of 12 case-control studies showed a 10% decrease in ovarian cancer risk with regular aspirin use, which was stronger for daily ... -
Analyses of PD-L1 and Inflammatory Gene Expression Association with Efficacy of Nivolumab ± Ipilimumab in Gastric Cancer/Gastroesophageal Junction Cancer.
(2021-03-29)Purpose In advanced gastric cancer/gastroesophageal junction cancer (GC/GEJC), there is a need to identify biomarkers of response to therapies, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.Patients and methods In post hoc exploratory ... -
Analysis and Augmentation of the Immunologic Bystander Effects of CAR T Cell Therapy in a Syngeneic Mouse Cancer Model.
(CELL PRESS, 2020-09-25)The therapeutic efficacy of adoptive transfer of T cells transduced with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has been limited in the treatment of solid cancers, partly due to tumor antigen heterogeneity. Overcoming lack of ... -
Analysis of 153 115 patients with hematological malignancies refines the spectrum of familial risk.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-09)Estimating familial cancer risks is clinically important in being able to discriminate between individuals in the population at differing risk for malignancy. To gain insight into the familial risk for the different ... -
Analysis of Breast Cancer Cell Invasion Using an Organotypic Culture System.
(2017-01)Metastasis is the main cause of cancer patient mortality. Local tumor invasion is a key step in metastatic dissemination whereby cancer cells dislodge from primary tumors, migrate through the peritumoral stroma and reach ... -
Analysis of Circulating Cell-Free DNA Identifies Multiclonal Heterogeneity of BRCA2 Reversion Mutations Associated with Resistance to PARP Inhibitors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Approximately 20% of metastatic prostate cancers harbor mutations in genes required for DNA repair by homologous recombination repair (HRR) such as BRCA2 HRR defects confer synthetic lethality to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) ... -
Analysis of ESR1 mutation in circulating tumor DNA demonstrates evolution during therapy for metastatic breast cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-11-11)Acquired ESR1 mutations are a major mechanism of resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs). We developed ultra high-sensitivity multiplex digital polymerase chain reaction assays for ESR1 mutations in circulating tumor DNA ... -
Analysis of novel therapeutic options for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-04-30)Adenoid cystic adenocarcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands is characterised by slow growth, frequent metastasis and low survival rates. ACC is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and currently, no systemic agent has ... -
Analysis of Over 140,000 European Descendants Identifies Genetically Predicted Blood Protein Biomarkers Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-09-15)Several blood protein biomarkers have been associated with prostate cancer risk. However, most studies assessed only a small number of biomarkers and/or included a small sample size. To identify novel protein biomarkers ... -
Analysis of rare disruptive germline mutations in 2135 enriched BRCA-negative breast cancers excludes additional high-impact susceptibility genes.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-12-01)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer has a significant heritable basis, of which ∼60% remains unexplained. Testing for BRCA1/BRCA2 offers useful discrimination of breast cancer risk within families, and identification of additional ... -
Analysis of tumour ecological balance reveals resource-dependent adaptive strategies of ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-10-21)BACKGROUND: Despite treatment advances, there remains a significant risk of recurrence in ovarian cancer, at which stage it is usually incurable. Consequently, there is a clear need for improved patient stratification. ... -
