The Dandelion Dilemma Revisited for Oligoprogression: Treat the Whole Lawn or Weed Selectively?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2019-12-01)Oligoprogressive disease is a relatively new clinical concept describing progression at only a few sites of metastasis in patients with otherwise controlled widespread disease. In the era of well-tolerated targeted treatments, ... -
The delineation of intraprostatic boost regions for radiotherapy using multimodality imaging.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2016-11-01)Dose escalation to the prostate improves tumor control but at the expense of increased rectal toxicity. Modern imaging can be used to detect the most common site of recurrence, the intraprostatic lesion (IPL), which has ... -
The deubiquitinase USP9X regulates FBW7 stability and suppresses colorectal cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)The tumor suppressor FBW7 targets oncoproteins such as c-MYC for ubiquitylation and is mutated in several human cancers. We noted that in a substantial percentage of colon cancers, FBW7 protein is undetectable despite the ... -
The deubiquitylase USP9X controls ribosomal stalling.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2021-03-01)When a ribosome stalls during translation, it runs the risk of collision with a trailing ribosome. Such an encounter leads to the formation of a stable di-ribosome complex, which needs to be resolved by a dedicated machinery. ... -
The Development of Therapeutic Radiographers in Imaging and Adaptive Radiotherapy Through Clinical Trial Quality Assurance.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-03-22)AIMS: Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is an emerging advanced treatment option for bladder cancer patients. Therapeutic radiographers (RTTs) are central to the successful delivery of this treatment. The purpose of this work ... -
The Diagnostic Accuracy of 18 F-FGD-PET/CT for Cancer of the Gallbladder: A Retrospective Study.
(THIEME MEDICAL PUBL INC, 2022-06-01)Background Gallbladder cancer has a poor prognosis and imaging can have variable diagnostic accuracy. We assessed the ability of preoperative 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography computed tomography ( 18 ... -
The diagnostic value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT and MRI in suspected vertebral osteomyelitis - a prospective study.
(2018-05)PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing vertebral ... -
The discovery of potent ribosomal S6 kinase inhibitors by high-throughput screening and structure-guided drug design.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2013-08-25)The ribosomal P70 S6 kinases play a crucial role in PI3K/mTOR regulated signalling pathways and are therefore potential targets for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diabetes and cancer. In this study we ... -
The Diversification of Cell Death and Immunity: Memento Mori.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-10-01)Why do cells have so many ways to die? Why does "cellular suicide" exist at all? In the war against pathogens and rogue cells, organisms developed cellular suicide as a last resort. Fighting an evolutionary arms race, cell ... -
The Effect of Corticosteroids on Prostate Cancer Outcome Following Treatment with Enzalutamide: A Multivariate Analysis of the Phase III AFFIRM Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-03-01)PURPOSE: The clinical impact of concurrent corticosteroid use (CCU) on enzalutamide-treated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is unknown. We investigated the association of CCU with ... -
The effect of exercise on cancer-related fatigue in cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
(DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD, 2018-01-01)OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to conduct systematic review and meta-analysis to establish the effect of exercise interventions on cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in cancer survivors, compared to non-exercise ... -
The effect of FASN inhibition on the growth and metabolism of a cisplatin-resistant ovarian carcinoma model.
(WILEY, 2018-08-15)Overexpression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key regulator of the de novo synthesis of fatty acids, has been demonstrated in a variety of cancers and is associated with poor prognosis and increased multidrug resistance. ... -
The effect of magnetic field strength on the response of Gafchromic EBT-3 film.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-03-14)With the advent of MRI-guided radiotherapy, the suitability of commercially available radiation dose detectors needs to be assessed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the magnetic field (B-field) on ... -

(WILEY, 2017-10-01)OBJECTIVES: To describe parotid gland (PG) saliva organic and inorganic composition and flow rate changes, after curative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC), and analyse the relationship ... -
The effect of sample size on polygenic hazard models for prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-01)We determined the effect of sample size on performance of polygenic hazard score (PHS) models in prostate cancer. Age and genotypes were obtained for 40,861 men from the PRACTICAL consortium. The dataset included 201,590 ... -
