Whole-body diffusion-weighted MR imaging for assessment of treatment response in myeloma.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA, 2014-06-01)PURPOSE: To determine the feasibility of whole-body diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for assessment of treatment response in myeloma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective single-institution study ... -
Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI in lymphoma-comparison of global apparent diffusion coefficient histogram parameters for differentiation of diseased nodes of lymphoma patients from normal lymph nodes of healthy individuals.
(AME PUBL CO, 2021-08-01)BACKGROUND: Morphologic features yield low diagnostic accuracy to distinguish between diseased and normal lymph nodes. The purpose of this study was to compare diseased lymphomatous and normal lymph nodes using global ... -
Whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI of normal lymph nodes: prospective apparent diffusion coefficient histogram and nodal distribution analysis in a healthy cohort.
(BMC, 2021-11-27)BACKGROUND: Whole body DWI (WB-DWI) enables the identification of lymph nodes for disease evaluation. However, quantitative data of benign lymph nodes across the body are lacking to allow meaningful comparison of diseased ... -
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: a practical guide for imaging patients with malignant bone disease.
(W B SAUNDERS CO LTD, 2021-10-01)Whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now a crucial tool for the assessment of the extent of systemic malignant bone disease and response to treatment, and forms part of national and international recommendations ... -
Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 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 chronic lymphocytic leukaemia reveals distinct differences in the mutational landscape between IgHVmut and IgHVunmut subgroups.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-02-01)Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) consists of two biologically and clinically distinct subtypes defined by the abundance of somatic hypermutation (SHM) affecting the Ig variable heavy-chain locus (IgHV). The molecular ... -
Whole-genome sequencing of chronic lymphocytic leukemia identifies subgroups with distinct biological and clinical features.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-01)The value of genome-wide over targeted driver analyses for predicting clinical outcomes of cancer patients is debated. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of 485 chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients enrolled in ... -
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 <sup>131</sup>I-NaI treatments of differentiated thyroid cancer.
(2016-10)Purpose 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).Methods Eighteen ... -
Wide versus narrow excision margins for high-risk, primary cutaneous melanomas: long-term follow-up of survival in a randomised trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016-02-01)BACKGROUND: The necessary margin of excision for cutaneous melanomas greater than 2 mm in thickness is controversial. At a median follow-up of 5 years, findings from our previously published randomised trial of narrow (1 ... -
Widespread epigenomic, transcriptomic and proteomic differences between hip osteophytic and articular chondrocytes in osteoarthritis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-08-01)OBJECTIVES: To identify molecular differences between chondrocytes from osteophytic and articular cartilage tissue from OA patients. METHODS: We investigated genes and pathways by combining genome-wide DNA methylation, RNA ... -
Will polygenic risk scores for cancer ever be clinically useful?
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-05-21) -
Wnt signalling modulates transcribed-ultraconserved regions in hepatobiliary cancers.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-09-14)OBJECTIVE: Transcribed-ultraconserved regions (T-UCR) are long non-coding RNAs which are conserved across species and are involved in carcinogenesis. We studied T-UCRs downstream of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in liver cancer. ... -
Women's Free-text Comments on their Quality of Life: An Exploratory Analysis from the UK Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy (START) Trials for Early Breast Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-07-01)AIMS: Exploratory analysis of patients' unsolicited written comments in the first 2 years of the Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy (START) trial quality of life study highlighted a potential effect of non-treatment-related ... -
Worst case optimization for interfractional motion mitigation in carbon ion therapy of pancreatic cancer.
(2016-10-07)Introduction The efficacy of radiation therapy treatments for pancreatic cancer is compromised by abdominal motion which limits the spatial accuracy for dose delivery - especially for particles. In this work we investigate ... -
Would the Recommended Dose Have Been Different Using Novel Dose-Finding Designs? Comparing Dose-Finding Designs in Published Trials.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-06-01)UNLABELLED: Simulation studies have shown that novel designs such as the continual reassessment method and the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design outperform the 3 + 3 design by recommending the maximum tolerated dose ... -
X-inactivation patch size in human female tissue confounds the assessment of tumor clonality
(2003-03-18)Most models of tumorigenesis assume that tumors are monoclonal in origin. This conclusion is based largely on studies using X chromosome-linked markers in females. One important factor, often ignored in such studies, is ...
