A digital pathway for genetic testing in UK NHS patients with cancer: BRCA-DIRECT randomised study internal pilot.
Torr, B; Jones, C; Choi, S; Allen, S; Kavanaugh, G; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-07-22)BACKGROUND: Germline genetic testing affords multiple opportunities for women with breast cancer, however, current UK NHS models for delivery of germline genetic testing are clinician-intensive and only a minority of breast ... -
Breast cancer risk assessment for prescription of menopausal hormone therapy in women with a family history of breast cancer: an epidemiological modelling study.
Huntley, C; Torr, B; Kavanaugh, G; George, A; Hanson, H; et al. (ROYAL COLL GENERAL PRACTITIONERS, 2024-07-08)BACKGROUND: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) can alleviate menopausal symptoms but has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. MHT prescription should be preceded by individualised risk/benefit evaluation; ... -
Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes.
Cubuk, C; Garrett, A; Choi, S; King, L; Loveday, C; et al. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-07-06)PURPOSE: Where multiple in silico tools are concordant, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics/Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) framework affords supporting evidence toward pathogenicity or ... -
Collateral damage: the impact on outcomes from cancer surgery of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sud, A; Jones, ME; Broggio, J; Loveday, C; Torr, B; et al. (ELSEVIER, 2020-08-01)BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of health care services to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Progression of cancers during delay will impact on patients' ... -
Effect of delays in the 2-week-wait cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survival in the UK: a modelling study.
Sud, A; Torr, B; Jones, ME; Broggio, J; Scott, S; et al. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-08-01)BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 lockdown, referrals via the 2-week-wait urgent pathway for suspected cancer in England, UK, are reported to have decreased by up to 84%. We aimed to examine the impact of different scenarios ... -
Germline mismatch repair (MMR) gene analyses from English NHS regional molecular genomics laboratories 1996-2020: development of a national resource of patient-level genomics laboratory records.
Loong, L; Huntley, C; McRonald, F; Santaniello, F; Pethick, J; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-12-26)OBJECTIVE: To describe national patterns of National Health Service (NHS) analysis of mismatch repair (MMR) genes in England using individual-level data submitted to the National Disease Registration Service (NDRS) by the ... -
Prioritisation by FIT to mitigate the impact of delays in the 2-week wait colorectal cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic: a UK modelling study.
Loveday, C; Sud, A; Jones, ME; Broggio, J; Scott, S; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-27)OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) prioritisation to mitigate the impact of delays in the colorectal cancer (CRC) urgent diagnostic (2-week-wait (2WW)) pathway consequent from the ... -
Quantifying prediction of pathogenicity for within-codon concordance (PM5) using 7541 functional classifications of BRCA1 and MSH2 missense variants.
Loong, L; Cubuk, C; Choi, S; Allen, S; Torr, B; et al. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-11-18)PURPOSE: Conditions and thresholds applied for evidence weighting of within-codon concordance (PM5) for pathogenicity vary widely between laboratories and expert groups. Because of the sparseness of available clinical ... -

Loong, L; Garrett, A; Allen, S; Choi, S; Durkie, M; et al. (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-06-03)PURPOSE: Variant classifications may change over time, driven by emergence of fresh or contradictory evidence or evolution in weighing or combination of evidence items. For variant classifications above the actionability ... -
Recommendations for laboratory workflow that better support centralised amalgamation of genomic variant data: findings from CanVIG-UK national molecular laboratory survey.
Allen, S; Loong, L; Garrett, A; Torr, B; Durkie, M; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2024-03-21)BACKGROUND: National and international amalgamation of genomic data offers opportunity for research and audit, including analyses enabling improved classification of variants of uncertain significance.
