A Review of Breast Cancer Risk Factors in Adolescents and Young Adults.
(MDPI, 2021-11-05)Cancer in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) deserves special consideration for several reasons. AYA cancers encompass paediatric malignancies that present at an older age than expected, or early-onset of cancers that are ... -
A Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines and Treatment Recommendations for Cancer Care in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
(MDPI, 2020-08-29)The COVID-19 pandemic has inevitably caused those involved in cancer care to change clinical practice in order to minimize the risk of infection while maintaining cancer treatment as a priority. General advice during the ... -
A Review of High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound in Urology.
(MDPI, 2021-11-14)This review provides an introduction to high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and reviews its historical and current use in urological surgery. Current and historical literature (1927-2020), including that describing ... -
A Review of Prostate Cancer Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-08-01)Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Europe and the United States. The genetic heritability of prostate cancer is contributed to by both rarely occurring genetic variants with higher penetrance and moderate ... -
A Review of the Metrics Used to Assess Auto-Contouring Systems in Radiotherapy
(Elsevier BV, 2023-01-31) -
A risk prediction algorithm based on family history and common genetic variants: application to prostate cancer with potential clinical impact.
(WILEY, 2011-07-18)Genome wide association studies have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are independently associated with small increments in risk of prostate cancer, opening up the possibility for using such ... -
A risk-based approach to experimental early phase clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-07-01) -
A risk-based approach to identifying oligometastatic disease on imaging.
(WILEY, 2019-02-01)Recognition of <3 metastases in <2 organs, particularly in cancers with a known predisposition to oligometastatic disease (OMD) (colorectal, prostate, renal, sarcoma and lung), offers the opportunity to focally treat the ... -
A Road Map for Designing Phase I Clinical Trials of Radiotherapy-Novel Agent Combinations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-09-02)Radiotherapy has proven efficacy in a wide range of cancers. There is growing interest in evaluating radiotherapy-novel agent combinations and a drive to initiate this earlier in the clinical development of the novel agent, ... -
A robust multiplex immunofluorescence and digital pathology workflow for the characterisation of the tumour immune microenvironment.
(WILEY, 2020-10-01)Multiplex immunofluorescence is a powerful tool for the simultaneous detection of tissue-based biomarkers, revolutionising traditional immunohistochemistry. The Opal methodology allows up to eight biomarkers to be measured ... -
A Role for the Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Drug Resistance of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
(MDPI AG, 2021-10-21)<jats:p>Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis and remarkable resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. Understanding resistance mechanisms against currently available drugs helps to ... -
A ROS-dependent mechanism promotes CDK2 phosphorylation to drive progression through S phase.
(CELL PRESS, 2022-07-25)Reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the right concentration promote cell proliferation in cell culture, stem cells, and model organisms. However, the mystery of how ROS signaling is coordinated with cell cycle progression and ... -
A scoring system for 3D surface images of breast reconstruction developed using the Delphi consensus process.
(2020-09)INTRODUCTION:Evaluation of aesthetics after breast reconstruction is challenging. In the absence of an objective measurement, panel assessment is widely adopted. Heterogeneity of scales and poor internal consistency make ... -
A selective chemical probe for exploring the role of CDK8 and CDK19 in human disease.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-12-01)There is unmet need for chemical tools to explore the role of the Mediator complex in human pathologies ranging from cancer to cardiovascular disease. Here we determine that CCT251545, a small-molecule inhibitor of the WNT ... -
A seven-Gene Signature assay improves prognostic risk stratification of perioperative chemotherapy treated gastroesophageal cancer patients from the MAGIC trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-12-01)BACKGROUND: Following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable gastroesophageal cancer, lymph node metastasis is the only validated prognostic variable; however, within lymph node groups there is still heterogeneity with risk ... -
A simple digital image analysis system for automated Ki67 assessment in primary breast cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-08-01)AIMS: Ki67 is a well-established immunohistochemical marker associated with cell proliferation that has prognostic and predictive value in breast cancer. Quantitative evaluation of Ki67 is traditionally performed by assessing ... -
A Sox2-Sox9 signalling axis maintains human breast luminal progenitor and breast cancer stem cells.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-04-25)Increased cancer stem cell content during development of resistance to tamoxifen in breast cancer is driven by multiple signals, including Sox2-dependent activation of Wnt signalling. Here, we show that Sox2 increases and ... -
A Specific Distress Cutoff Score Shortly After Breast Cancer Diagnosis.
(2017-05)Background High levels of distress are expected shortly after the diagnosis breast cancer. The Distress Thermometer (DT) is commonly used to screen for distress, using a cutoff score of 4 or 5; however, this score might ...
