Development of molecularly targeted agents and immunotherapies in small cell lung cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-06-01)Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a smoking-induced malignancy with multiple toxin-associated mutations, which accounts for 15% of all lung cancers. It remains a clinical challenge with a rapid doubling time, early dissemination ... -
Development of novel therapeutic strategies in relapsed advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-02-28)Recent advances in the treatment of advanced NSCLC include introduction of targeted therapies and immune-checkpoint inhibitors, leading to improvements in survival outcomes. However, significant new challenges and questions ... -
Development of Real-Time Motion-Including Dose Reconstruction on a Unity MR-Linac system
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-03-12)The first part of my thesis is concerned with estimating the motion of organs and other critical anatomical structures during radiotherapy treatments. I use 2D cine images acquired during MR-Linac treatments and compare ... -
Development of synchronous VHL syndrome tumors reveals contingencies and constraints to tumor evolution.
(BMC, 2014-08-27)BACKGROUND: Genomic analysis of multi-focal renal cell carcinomas from an individual with a germline VHL mutation offers a unique opportunity to study tumor evolution. RESULTS: We perform whole exome sequencing on four ... -
Development of the SIOPE DIPG network, registry and imaging repository: a collaborative effort to optimize research into a rare and lethal disease.
(SPRINGER, 2017-04-01)Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a rare and deadly childhood malignancy. After 40 years of mostly single-center, often non-randomized trials with variable patient inclusions, there has been no improvement in ... -
Development Refractoriness of MLL-Rearranged Human B Cell Acute Leukemias to Reprogramming into Pluripotency.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-10-11)Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a powerful tool for disease modeling. They are routinely generated from healthy donors and patients from multiple cell types at different developmental stages. However, reprogramming ... -
Developments in predictive biomarker testing and targeted therapy in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer and their application across European countries.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)In the past two decades, the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has undergone significant changes due to the introduction of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. These advancements have led to the ... -
