Factors affecting accuracy and precision in ultrasound guided radiotherapy.
<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is used clinically for directly assessing prostate motion. Factors affecting accuracy and precision in TPUS motion estimation must be assessed to realise its ... -
Factors associated with emotional and behavioural problems among school age children of breast cancer patients
(2006-01-16)To identify factors linked with emotional and behavioural problems in school age (6- to 17-year-old) children of women with breast cancer. Reports of children’s emotional and behavioural problems were obtained from patient ... -
Factors influencing the accuracy of biomechanical breast models.
(AMER ASSOC PHYSICISTS MEDICINE AMER INST PHYSICS, 2006-06-01)Recently it has been suggested that finite element methods could be used to predict breast deformations in a number of applications, including comparison of multimodality images, validation of image registration and image ... -
Factors shaping the implementation and use of Clinical Cancer Decision Tools by GPs in primary care: a qualitative framework synthesis.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-02-19)OBJECTIVE: Clinical Cancer Decision Tools (CCDTs) aim to alert general practitioners (GPs) to signs and symptoms of cancer, supporting prompt investigation and onward referral. CCDTs are available in primary care in the ... -
Facts and hopes on RAS inhibitors and cancer immunotherapy.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2023-08-15)While the past decade has seen great strides in the development of immunotherapies that reactivate the immune system against tumors, there have also been major advances in the discovery of drugs blocking oncogenic drivers ... -
Fadraciclib (CYC065), a novel CDK inhibitor, targets key pro-survival and oncogenic pathways in cancer.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2020-07-09)Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) contribute to the cancer hallmarks of uncontrolled proliferation and increased survival. As a result, over the last two decades substantial efforts have been directed towards identification ... -
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)Given the global burden of diarrheal diseases on healthcare it is surprising how little is known about the drivers of disease severity. Colitis caused by infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by ... -
Failing to Close the Gap Between Evidence and Clinical Practice in Radical Bladder Cancer Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-01-01) -
Failure-Free Survival and Radiotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer: Data From Patients in the Control Arm of the STAMPEDE Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2016-03-01)IMPORTANCE: The natural history of patients with newly diagnosed high-risk nonmetastatic (M0) prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy (HT) either alone or with standard-of-care radiotherapy (RT) is not well documented. ... -
False Positive Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Phenotypes in the Biopsy-naïve Prostate: Are They Distinct from Significant Cancer-associated Lesions? Lessons from PROMIS.
Background False positive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) phenotypes prompt unnecessary biopsies. The Prostate MRI Imaging Study (PROMIS) provides a unique opportunity to explore such phenotypes in ... -
False-positive screening results in the European randomized study of screening for prostate cancer
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2011-12-01)Background: Screening for prostate cancer (PC) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been shown to decrease mortality, but has adverse effects, such as false-positive (FP) screening results. We describe the frequency ... -
Familial gigantism caused by an NSD1 mutation.
(2005-11)A three-generation family with autosomal dominant segregation of a novel NSD1 mutation (6605G --> A, resulting in Cys2202Tyr) is reported. Haploinsufficiency of NSD1 has been identified as the major cause of Sotos syndrome. ... -
Familial Risks and Mortality in Second Primary Cancers in Melanoma.
(2018-10)Background: Malignant melanoma (MM) patients are at increasing risk of developing second primary cancers (SPCs). We assessed mortality and risk of SPCs in MM patients with siblings or parents affected with same cancer ... -
Familial risks of acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-08-30) -
Family history and risk of breast cancer: an analysis accounting for family structure.
(SPRINGER, 2017-08-01)PURPOSE: Family history is an important risk factor for breast cancer incidence, but the parameters conventionally used to categorize it are based solely on numbers and/or ages of breast cancer cases in the family and take ... -
Family History of Prostate Cancer and Survival Outcomes in the UK Genetic Prostate Cancer Study.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-12-15)BACKGROUND: A family history (FH) of prostate cancer (PrCa) is associated with an increased likelihood of PrCa diagnosis. Conflicting evidence exists regarding familial PrCa and clinical outcomes among PrCa patients, ... -
Farnesyl thiosalicylic acid inhibits the growth of melanoma cells through a combination of cytostatic and pro-apoptotic effects
(2002-04-01)Novel classes of drug that interfere with the signalling of the small G-protein Ras, the so-called Ras antagonists, are showing much promise as novel anti-cancer agents. In this study, we demonstrate that the novel Ras ... -
Farnesyl transferase inhibitor SCH66336 is cytostatic, pro-apoptotic and enhances chemosensitivity to cisplatin in melanoma cells
(2003-06-10)The constitutive activity of a number of growth and cell survival pathways are thought to contribute to the inherent resistance of melanoma to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Many of these pathways are driven through the ... -
Fast CPU-based Monte Carlo simulation for radiotherapy dose calculation.
(2015-08)Monte-Carlo (MC) simulations are considered to be the most accurate method for calculating dose distributions in radiotherapy. Its clinical application, however, still is limited by the long runtimes conventional implementations ... -
Fast, Quantitative and Variant Enabled Mapping of Peptides to Genomes.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-08-23)Current tools for visualization and integration of proteomics with other omics datasets are inadequate for large-scale studies and capture only basic sequence identity information. Furthermore, the frequent reformatting ...
