Frequency of pathogenic germline variants in cancer susceptibility genes in 1336 renal cell carcinoma cases.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-08-25)Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) occurs in a number of cancer predisposition syndromes, but the genetic architecture of susceptibility to RCC is not well defined. We investigated the frequency of pathogenic and likely pathogenic ... -
FRMD6 has tumor suppressor functions in prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-28)Available tools for prostate cancer (PC) prognosis are suboptimal but may be improved by better knowledge about genes driving tumor aggressiveness. Here, we identified FRMD6 (FERM domain-containing protein 6) as an aberrantly ... -
From 25 Fractions to Five: How Hypofractionation has Revolutionised Adjuvant Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)There is a sound empirical basis for hypofractionation in radiotherapy for breast cancer. This article reviews the radiobiological implications of hypofractionation in breast cancer derived from a series of clinical trials ... -
From Clinical Trials to Real-life Clinical Practice: The Role of Immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-12-01)CONTEXT: A number of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have recently been approved for use in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) on the basis of results from several clinical trials. OBJECTIVE: To ... -
From fixed activities to personalized treatments in radionuclide therapy: lost in translation?
(SPRINGER, 2018-01-01) -
From integrative genomics to therapeutic targets.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-06-15)Combinatorial approaches that integrate conventional pathology with genomic profiling and functional genomics have begun to enhance our understanding of the genetic basis of breast cancer. These methods have identified key ... -
From patent to patient: analysing access to innovative cancer drugs.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-09-01)Analysis of cancer drugs licensed through the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2000-2016 shows that the number of authorisations increased over that timeframe. The median number of licensed drugs each year rose from six ... -
From presentation to paper: Gender disparities in oncological research.
(WILEY, 2020-06-01)Gender disparities in scientific publications have been identified in oncological research. Oral research presentations at major conferences enhance visibility of presenters. The share of women presenting at such podia is ... -
Frontline and Relapsed Rhabdomyosarcoma (FAR-RMS) Clinical Trial: A Report from the European Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG).
(MDPI AG, 2024-02-29)The Frontline and Relapsed Rhabdomyosarcoma (FaR-RMS) clinical trial is an overarching, multinational study for children and adults with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). The trial, developed by the European Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study ... -
Functional Analysis Identifies Damaging CHEK2 Missense Variants Associated with Increased Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-02-15)UNLABELLED: Heterozygous carriers of germline loss-of-function variants in the tumor suppressor gene checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) are at an increased risk for developing breast and other cancers. While truncating variants ... -
Functional annotation of breast cancer risk loci: current progress and future directions.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-04-01)Genome-wide association studies coupled with large-scale replication and fine-scale mapping studies have identified more than 150 genomic regions that are associated with breast cancer risk. Here, we review efforts to ... -
Functional annotation of the 2q35 breast cancer risk locus implicates a structural variant in influencing activity of a long-range enhancer element.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-07-01)A combination of genetic and functional approaches has identified three independent breast cancer risk loci at 2q35. A recent fine-scale mapping analysis to refine these associations resulted in 1 (signal 1), 5 (signal 2), ... -
