Wanna Get Away? Maintenance Treatments and Chemotherapy Holidays in Gynecologic Cancers.
(2019-01)Epithelial ovarian cancer has a very high rate of relapse after primary therapy; historically approximately 70% of patients with a complete clinical response to surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy will relapse and die of the ... -
Warthin Tumor-Like Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma.
(2018-02)Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) shows a wide morphologic spectrum, including epithelium with oncocytic or squamous metaplastic changes overlying a prominent cystic architecture, as well as tumor-associated lymphoid tissue. ... -
Watch-and-Wait as a Therapeutic Strategy in Rectal Cancer.
(2018-01)Pathological complete response is seen in approximately one fifth of rectal cancer patients following neoadjuvant chemoradiation. Since these patients have excellent oncological outcomes, there has been a rapidly growing ... -
WDR5, BRCA1, and BARD1 Co-regulate the DNA Damage Response and Modulate the Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition during Early Reprogramming.
(2019-04)Differentiated cells are epigenetically stable, but can be reprogrammed to pluripotency by expression of the OSKM transcription factors. Despite significant effort, relatively little is known about the cellular requirements ... -
Weaver Syndrome and EZH2 Mutations: Clarifying the Clinical Phenotype
(2013-12)Weaver syndrome, first described in 1974, is characterized by tall stature, a typical facial appearance, and variable intellectual disability. In 2011, mutations in the histone methyltransferase, EZH2, were shown to cause ... -
When no treatment is the best treatment: Active surveillance strategies for low risk prostate cancers.
(2017-07)Although the incidence of prostate cancer is rising due to PSA screening and increased life expectancy, the metastatic potential of low-grade, organ-confined disease remains low. An increasing number of studies suggest ... -
When Should we Irradiate the Primary in Metastatic Lung Cancer?
(2019-12)Metastatic lung cancer encompasses a heterogenous group of patients in terms of burdens of disease, ranging from patients with extensive metastases to those with a limited number of metastatic lesions (oligometastatic ... -
When to keep it simple - adaptive designs are not always useful.
(2019-08-02)BACKGROUND:Adaptive designs are a wide class of methods focused on improving the power, efficiency and participant benefit of clinical trials. They do this through allowing information gathered during the trial to be used ... -
Whole-body diffusion-weighted MR imaging for assessment of treatment response in myeloma.
(2014-06)To determine the feasibility of whole-body diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for assessment of treatment response in myeloma.This prospective single-institution study was HIPAA-compliant with local ... -
Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for cancer screening in asymptomatic subjects of the general population: review and recommendations.
(2020-05-11)BACKGROUND:The number of studies describing the use of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) for screening of malignant tumours in asymptomatic subjects is increasing. Our aim is to review the methodologies used ... -
Whole-body MRI compared with standard pathways for staging metastatic disease in lung and colorectal cancer: the Streamline diagnostic accuracy studies.
(2019-12)BACKGROUND:Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging is advocated as an alternative to standard pathways for staging cancer. OBJECTIVES:The objectives were to compare diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, patient acceptability, ... -
Whole-Body MRI: Current Applications in Oncology.
(2017-12)The purpose of this article is to review current image acquisition and interpretation for whole-body MRI, clinical applications, and the emerging roles in oncologic imaging, especially in the assessment of bone marrow ... -
Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
(2015-01-22)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men. Here we perform whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 42 TGCTs to comprehensively study the cancer's mutational profile. The mutation rate is uniformly ... -
Whole-genome sequencing of multiple myeloma reveals oncogenic pathways are targeted somatically through multiple mechanisms.
(2018-11)Multiple myeloma (MM) is a biologically heterogeneous malignancy, however, the mechanisms underlying this complexity are incompletely understood. We report an analysis of the whole-genome sequencing of 765 MM patients from ... -
Whole-remnant and maximum-voxel SPECT/CT dosimetry in 131I-NaI treatments of differentiated thyroid cancer.
(2016-10)To investigate the possible differences between SPECT/CT based whole-remnant and maximum-voxel dosimetry in patients receiving radio-iodine ablation treatment of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).Eighteen DTC patients ... -
