Challenges to curing primary brain tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-01)Despite decades of research, brain tumours remain among the deadliest of all forms of cancer. The ability of these tumours to resist almost all conventional and novel treatments relates, in part, to the unique cell-intrinsic ... -
Changes in Expression of Genes Representing Key Biologic Processes after Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer, and Prognostic Implications in Residual Disease.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-05-15)PURPOSE: The primary aim was to derive evidence for or against the clinical importance of several biologic processes in patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) by assessing expression of selected genes with ... -
Changes in multimodality functional imaging parameters early during chemoradiation predict treatment response in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-05-01)OBJECTIVE: To assess the optimal timing and predictive value of early intra-treatment changes in multimodality functional and molecular imaging (FMI) parameters as biomarkers for clinical remission in patients receiving ... -
Changes in radiotherapy fractionation-breast cancer.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2018-01-18)Conventional fractionation for half a century has been justified on the basis that 2.0 Gy fractions spare dose-limiting late-responding normal tissues to a greater degree than cancerous tissues. Early indications that ... -
Changing paradigms in the treatment of residual/recurrent head and neck cancer: implications for dysphagia management.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite advances in head and neck cancer treatment provision, recurrence rates remain high with the added risk of successfully treated patients developing a second primary. We report on the management ... -
Changing platforms without stopping the train: experiences of data management and data management systems when adapting platform protocols by adding and closing comparisons.
(BMC, 2019-05-29)BACKGROUND: There is limited research and literature on the data management challenges encountered in multi-arm, multi-stage platform and umbrella protocols. These trial designs allow both (1) seamless addition of new ... -
Characterisation and classification of oligometastatic disease: a European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology and European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer consensus recommendation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-01-01)Oligometastatic disease has been proposed as an intermediate state between localised and systemically metastasised disease. In the absence of randomised phase 3 trials, early clinical studies show improved survival when ... -
Characterisation of a Novel Cell Line (ICR-SS-1) Established from a Patient-Derived Xenograft of Synovial Sarcoma.
(MDPI, 2022-08-04)Synovial sarcoma is a rare translocation-driven cancer with poor survival outcomes, particularly in the advanced setting. Previous synovial sarcoma preclinical studies have relied on a small panel of cell lines which suffer ... -
Characterisation of CCT271850, a selective, oral and potent MPS1 inhibitor, used to directly measure in vivo MPS1 inhibition vs therapeutic efficacy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-25)BACKGROUND: The main role of the cell cycle is to enable error-free DNA replication, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. One of the best characterised checkpoint pathways is the spindle assembly checkpoint, which ... -
Characterisation of fibrosis in chemically-induced rat mammary carcinomas using multi-modal endogenous contrast MRI on a 1.5T clinical platform.
(SPRINGER, 2018-04-01)OBJECTIVES: To determine the ability of multi-parametric, endogenous contrast MRI to detect and quantify fibrosis in a chemically-induced rat model of mammary carcinoma. METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=18) were ... -
Characterisation of HRas local signal transduction networks using engineered site-specific exchange factors.
(2020-09)Ras GTPases convey signals from different types of membranes. At these locations, different Ras isoforms, interactors and regulators generate different biochemical signals and biological outputs. The study of Ras ... -
Characterisation of immunoparesis in newly diagnosed myeloma and its impact on progression-free and overall survival in both old and recent myeloma trials.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-01)We measured immunosuppression at myeloma diagnosis and assessed the impact on survival in 5826 UK myeloma trial patients. Polyclonal immunoglobulin levels were below normal in 85% of patients and above normal in only 0.4% ... -
Characterisation of Prostate Lesions Using Transrectal Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) Ultrasound Imaging: A Systematic Review.
(MDPI, 2021-01-02)BACKGROUND: ultrasound-based shear wave elastography (SWE) can non-invasively assess prostate tissue stiffness. This systematic review aims to evaluate SWE for the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and compare diagnostic ... -
Characterisation of RELA dynamics in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-07-06)The NF-kB transcription factor RELA is a master regulator of the immune response and cell survival. Numerous studies have determined the parameters and configuration of single cell RELA translocation dynamics, with various ... -
Characterisation of the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten for use in gamma camera collimation.
(SPRINGER, 2019-01-07)BACKGROUND: The aim of this work was to characterise the attenuation properties of 3D-printed tungsten and to assess the feasibility for its use in gamma camera collimator manufacture. METHOD: 3D-printed tungsten disks ... -
Characterisation of the immune-related transcriptome in resected biliary tract cancers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-11-01)UNLABELLED: Although biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are known to have an inflammatory component, a detailed characterisation of immune-related transcripts has never been performed. In these studies, nCounter PanCancer Immune ... -
Characterisation of the Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells Isolated from Pleural Effusions.
