Macrophage-Derived IL1β and TNFα Regulate Arginine Metabolism in Neuroblastoma.
(2019-02)Neuroblastoma is the most common childhood solid tumor, yet the prognosis for high-risk disease remains poor. We demonstrate here that arginase 2 (ARG2) drives neuroblastoma cell proliferation via regulation of arginine ... -
Magnetic resonance defecography versus clinical examination and fluoroscopy: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-12) -
Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy for the treatment of bladder and pancreatic cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-08-05)Magnetic resonance guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) has many postulated benefits over conventional radiotherapy treatment techniques. Its superior soft tissue definition, lack of imaging related ionising radiation and the ... -
Magnetic resonance image guided adaptive radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)Multiple challenges exist in radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer. These lead to uncertainty and error in dose delivered to the tumour target and organs at risk (OARs). Adequate planning target volume (PTV) ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy for prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)Radiotherapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided radiotherapy allows daily adaptive replanning and can improve ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging in precision radiation therapy for lung cancer.
(2017-12)Radiotherapy remains the cornerstone of curative treatment for inoperable locally advanced lung cancer, given concomitantly with platinum-based chemotherapy. With poor overall survival, research efforts continue to explore ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging of the low rectum: defining the radiological anatomy.
(2006-09)Low rectal cancer provides a particular surgical challenge of local tumour control and sphincter preservation. Histopathological studies have shown that an involved circumferential resection margin (CRM) and depth of ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging sequence evaluation of an MR Linac system; early clinical experience.
(2019-12-16)Objectives:To systematically identify the preferred magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences following volunteer imaging on a 1.5 Tesla (T) MR-Linear Accelerator (MR Linac) for future protocol development. Methods:Non-patient ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Based Assessment of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphoedema Tissue Composition.
(2017-09)Objectives The aim of this study was to propose a magnetic resonance imaging acquisition and analysis protocol that uses image segmentation to measure and depict fluid, fat, and muscle volumes in breast cancer-related ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A "Game Changer" for Prostate Treatment?
(2018-02)Radiation therapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. With a low estimated α/β ratio, a larger dose per fraction would be beneficial, with moderate ... -
Magnetic resonance linear accelerator technology and adaptive radiation therapy: An overview for clinicians.
Radiation therapy (RT) continues to play an important role in the treatment of cancer. Adaptive RT (ART) is a novel method through which RT treatments are evolving. With the ART approach, computed tomography or magnetic ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)-Based Methods for Examining Cancer Metabolism in Response to Oncogenic Kinase Drug Treatment.
(2017-01)Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Study Glycolytic Metabolism During Autophagy.
(2017-01)Cancer cells undergoing starvation- and treatment-induced autophagy were found to exhibit reduced intracellular lactate, reduced rates of steady-state lactate excretion and reduced real-time pyruvate-lactate exchange rates, ... -
Magnetic Resonance-based Response Assessment and Dose Adaptation in Human Papilloma Virus Positive Tumors of the Oropharynx treated with Radiotherapy (MR-ADAPTOR): An R-IDEAL stage 2a-2b/Bayesian phase II trial.
(2018-11)Background Current standard radiotherapy for oropharynx cancer (OPC) is associated with high rates of severe toxicities, shown to adversely impact patients' quality of life. Given excellent outcomes of human papilloma virus ... -
Magnitude of observer error using cone beam CT for prostate interfraction motion estimation: effect of reducing scan length or increasing exposure.
(2015-10)Objective Cone beam CT (CBCT) enables soft-tissue registration to planning CT for position verification in radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the interobserver error (IOE) in prostate position verification ... -
Maintenance treatment with rucaparib for recurrent ovarian carcinoma in ARIEL3, a randomized phase 3 trial: The effects of best response to last platinum-based regimen and disease at baseline on efficacy and safety.
Background The efficacy and safety of rucaparib maintenance treatment in ARIEL3 were evaluated in subgroups based on best response to most recent platinum-based chemotherapy and baseline disease. Methods Patients were ... -
Major Amputations for Extremity Soft-Tissue Sarcoma.
(2018-02)Introduction With modern techniques facilitating limb conservation, amputation for extremity soft-tissue sarcoma (ESTS) is now rare. We sought to determine the indications and outcomes following major amputation for ESTS ...
