A systematic review of early phase studies for children and young people with relapsed and refractory rhabdomyosarcoma: The REFoRMS-SR project.
(WILEY, 2024-04-01)Rhabdomyosarcoma is the commonest soft tissue sarcoma in children. Around one-third of children with rhabdomyosarcoma experience relapse or have refractory disease, which is associated with a poor prognosis. This systematic ... -
A tailored molecular profiling programme for children with cancer to identify clinically actionable genetic alterations.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-11-01)BACKGROUND: For children with cancer, the clinical integration of precision medicine to enable predictive biomarker-based therapeutic stratification is urgently needed. METHODS: We have developed a hybrid-capture next-generation ... -
A Tool for Shared Decision Making on Referral for Prostate Biopsy in the Primary Care Setting: Integrating Risks of Cancer with Life Expectancy.
(2019-04-22)Prostate cancer (PCa) testing involves a complex individually based decision making process. It should consider competing risks from other comorbidities when estimating a survival benefit from the early detection of ... -
A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Among 97,898 Women to Identify Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-09-15)Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 35 loci associated with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) risk. The majority of GWAS-identified disease susceptibility variants are located in ... -
A transcriptome-wide association study of 229,000 women identifies new candidate susceptibility genes for breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-01)The breast cancer risk variants identified in genome-wide association studies explain only a small fraction of the familial relative risk, and the genes responsible for these associations remain largely unknown. To identify ... -
A translational study in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2019-11-30)Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) are rare, highly heterogeneous tumours. There have been significant recent advances in our knowledge of genomic events underlying their pathogenesis. However, treatment decisions ... -
A unique binding mode of Nek2A to the APC/C allows its ubiquitination during prometaphase.
(WILEY, 2020-06-04)The anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) is the key E3 ubiquitin ligase which directs mitotic progression and exit by catalysing the sequential ubiquitination of specific substrates. The activity of the APC/C in mitosis is ... -
A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing: Systemic Immune Activation Post Immunotherapy.
(Innovative Healthcare Institute, 2021-11-01)INTRODUCTION: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly a standard of care for many cancers; these agents can result in immune-related adverse events (irAEs) including fever, which is common but can rarely be ... -
AAPM Task Group 241: A medical physicist's guide to MRI-guided focused ultrasound body systems.
(WILEY, 2021-07-29)Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a completely non-invasive technology that has been approved by FDA to treat several diseases. This report, prepared by the American Association of Physicist in ... -
ABC-transporter upregulation mediates resistance to the CDK7 inhibitors THZ1 and ICEC0942.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-01)The CDK7 inhibitors (CDK7i) ICEC0942 and THZ1, are promising new cancer therapeutics. Resistance to targeted drugs frequently compromises cancer treatment. We sought to identify mechanisms by which cancer cells may become ... -
Abdo-Man: a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom for validating quantitative SIRT.
(SPRINGER, 2016-08-05)BACKGROUND: The use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is rapidly increasing, and the need for quantification and dosimetry is becoming more widespread to facilitate treatment planning and verification. The aim ... -
Abemaciclib as initial therapy for advanced breast cancer: MONARCH 3 updated results in prognostic subgroups.
(2021-06-22)In MONARCH 3, continuous dosing of abemaciclib with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) conferred significant clinical benefit to postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer. We report data for clinically prognostic ... -
Abiraterone acetate and prednisolone with or without enzalutamide for high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of primary results from two randomised controlled phase 3 trials of the STAMPEDE platform protocol.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-01-29)BACKGROUND: Men with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer are treated with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for 3 years, often combined with radiotherapy. We analysed new data from two randomised controlled phase 3 ... -
Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone for metastatic patients starting hormone therapy: 5-year follow-up results from the STAMPEDE randomised trial (NCT00268476).
(WILEY, 2022-08-01)Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone (AAP) previously demonstrated improved survival in STAMPEDE, a multiarm, multistage platform trial in men starting long-term hormone therapy for prostate cancer. This long-term analysis ... -
Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone with or without enzalutamide for patients with metastatic prostate cancer starting androgen deprivation therapy: final results from two randomised phase 3 trials of the STAMPEDE platform protocol.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-05-01)BACKGROUND: Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone (herein referred to as abiraterone) or enzalutamide added at the start of androgen deprivation therapy improves outcomes for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Here, ... -
