PPM1D mutations are oncogenic drivers of de novo diffuse midline glioma formation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-01)The role of PPM1D mutations in de novo gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. Here we analyze whole genome sequences of 170 pediatric high-grade gliomas and find that truncating mutations in PPM1D that increase ... -
PPM1D mutations silence NAPRT gene expression and confer NAMPT inhibitor sensitivity in glioma.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2019-08-22)Pediatric high-grade gliomas are among the deadliest of childhood cancers due to limited knowledge of early driving events in their gliomagenesis and the lack of effective therapies available. In this study, we investigate ... -
Practical considerations for optimising homologous recombination repair mutation testing in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-02-25)Analysis of the genomic landscape of prostate cancer has identified different molecular subgroups with relevance for novel or existing targeted therapies. The recent approvals of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) ... -
Practical guidance for planning resources required to support publicly-funded adaptive clinical trials.
(BMC, 2022-08-10)Adaptive designs are a class of methods for improving efficiency and patient benefit of clinical trials. Although their use has increased in recent years, research suggests they are not used in many situations where they ... -
Practical guidance for running late-phase platform protocols for clinical trials: lessons from experienced UK clinical trials units.
(BMC, 2022-09-06)BACKGROUND: Late-phase platform protocols (including basket, umbrella, multi-arm multi-stage (MAMS), and master protocols) are generally agreed to be more efficient than traditional two-arm clinical trial designs but are ... -
Practical guidance on the use of olaparib capsules as maintenance therapy for women with BRCA mutations and platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.
(2016-12)Olaparib is the first oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor to be approved as maintenance monotherapy for treatment of patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed BRCA-mutated (BRCAm) serous ovarian cancer. This review ... -
Practical recommendations for radium-223 treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
(2017-09)Purpose Radium Ra 223 dichloride (radium-223, Xofigo®) is the first targeted alpha therapy for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer and symptomatic bone metastases. Radium-223 provides a new treatment option ... -
Practice patterns for the radical treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer by head and neck oncologists in the United Kingdom.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2018-05-01)OBJECTIVE: Advances in radiation delivery, imaging techniques, and chemotherapy have significantly improved treatment options for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancers (NPC). However, their impact on the practice in the ... -
Practice-changing radiation therapy trials for the treatment of cancer: where are we 150 years after the birth of Marie Curie?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-14)As we mark 150 years since the birth of Marie Curie, we reflect on the global advances made in radiation oncology and the current status of radiation therapy (RT) research. Large-scale international RT clinical trials have ... -
Pre-clinical imaging of transgenic mouse models of neuroblastoma using a dedicated 3-element solenoid coil on a clinical 3T platform.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-05)BACKGROUND: The use of clinical MRI scanners to conduct pre-clinical research facilitates comparisons with clinical studies. Here the utility and sensitivity of anatomical and functional MRI data/biomarkers acquired from ... -
Pre-clinical quantitative imaging and mouse-specific dosimetry for 111In-labelled radiotracers.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2016-11-25)BACKGROUND: Accurate quantification in molecular imaging is essential to improve the assessment of novel drugs and compare the radiobiological effects of therapeutic agents prior to in-human studies. The aim of this study ... -
Pre-natal exposures and breast tissue composition: findings from a British pre-birth cohort of young women and a systematic review.
(BMC, 2016-10-12)BACKGROUND: Breast density, the amount of fibroglandular tissue in the adult breast for a women's age and body mass index, is a strong biomarker of susceptibility to breast cancer, which may, like breast cancer risk itself, ... -
Pre-operative Radiotherapy And Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flAp study (PRADA): Aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction at one year.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-03-01)INTRODUCTION: The optimal combination of radiotherapy and breast reconstruction has not yet been defined. Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has deleterious effects on breast reconstruction, leading to caution amongst ... -
