Two Novel Susceptibility Loci for Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2017-08-01)Prostate cancer incidence is 1.6-fold higher in African Americans than in other populations. The risk factors that drive this disparity are unknown and potentially consist of social, environmental, and genetic influences. ... -
Two truncating variants in FANCC and breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-08-29)Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with 22 disease-causing genes reported to date. In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk ... -
Two-stage Study of Familial Prostate Cancer by Whole-exome Sequencing and Custom Capture Identifies 10 Novel Genes Associated with the Risk of Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-13)BACKGROUND: Family history of prostate cancer (PCa) is a well-known risk factor, and both common and rare genetic variants are associated with the disease. OBJECTIVE: To detect new genetic variants associated with PCa, ... -
Two-years Postradiotherapy Biopsies: Lessons from MRC RT01 Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-06-01)BACKGROUND: The importance of 2-yr postradiotherapy prostate biopsy status remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of 2 year post treatment biopsies in a randomised trial of radiotherapy dose escalation. DESIGN, ... -
Type 1 IGF receptor associates with adverse outcome and cellular radioresistance in paediatric high-grade glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)High-grade glioma (HGG) is highly resistant to therapy, prompting us to investigate the contribution of insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-1R), linked with radioresistance in other cancers. IGF-1R immunohistochemistry ... -
Types of second primary cancers influence survival in chronic lymphocytic and hairy cell leukemia patients.

Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Activity in Patients with NSCLC Harboring Uncommon EGFR Mutations: A Retrospective International Cohort Study (UpSwinG).
<h4>Background</h4>Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs) are standard of care for patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with common mutations (Del19 or ... -
Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of necroptosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)Regulated cell death is a fundamental cellular process that is critical for the development and survival of multicellular organisms. Cell death and inflammation are essential to restore tissue homeostasis following tissue ... -
Ubiquitin-Mediated Regulation of RIPK1 Kinase Activity Independent of IKK and MK2.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-02-15)Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can drive inflammation, cell survival, and death. While ubiquitylation-, phosphorylation-, and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-dependent checkpoints suppress the cytotoxic potential of TNF, it remains ... -
Ubiquitylation of MLKL at lysine 219 positively regulates necroptosis-induced tissue injury and pathogen clearance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-07)Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory form of cell death that not only contributes to pathogen clearance but can also lead to disease pathogenesis. Necroptosis is triggered by RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL, which ... -
UK 2022 Consensus on Normal Tissue Dose-Volume Constraints for Oligometastatic, Primary Lung and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy.
The use of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in the UK has expanded over the past decade, in part as the result of several UK clinical trials and a recent NHS England Commissioning through Evaluation programme. A ... -
UK clinical practice guidelines for the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST).
(2017-01)Background Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare tumours arising in mesenchymal tissues. Gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) is the commonest STS and arises within the wall of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. While most ... -
UK Consensus on Normal Tissue Dose Constraints for Stereotactic Radiotherapy.
(2018-01)Six UK studies investigating stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) are currently open. Many of these involve the treatment of oligometastatic disease at different locations in the body. Members of all the trial management ... -
UK consensus recommendations for clinical management of cancer risk for women with germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes: RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1 and PALB2.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-11-21)Germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in the cancer predisposition genes BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, BRIP1, PALB2, RAD51D and RAD51C are identified in approximately 15% of patients with ovarian cancer (OC). While there ... -
UK recommendations for SDHA germline genetic testing and surveillance in clinical practice.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-03-08)SDHA pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) are identified in up to 10% of patients with paraganglioma and phaeochromocytoma and up to 30% with wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Most SDHA PGV carriers present with ... -
UKCGG Consensus Group guidelines for the management of patients with constitutional TP53 pathogenic variants.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-22)Constitutional pathogenic variants in TP53 are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or the more recently described heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome and are associated with increased lifetime risks of a wide spectrum ... -
Ultra-Sensitive Mutation Detection and Genome-Wide DNA Copy Number Reconstruction by Error-Corrected Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing.
