DNA methylation patterns identify subgroups of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with clinical association.
(2021-02-03)Here we report the DNA methylation profile of 84 sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) with associated clinical and genomic information. We identified three subgroups of PanNETs, termed T1, T2 and T3, with ... -
DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-03-22)Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for optimal management of patients with cancer. For the approximately 100 known tumour types of the central nervous system, standardization of the diagnostic process has been shown ... -
DNA methylation-based classification of glioneuronal tumours synergises with histology and radiology to refine accurate molecular stratification.
(WILEY, 2023-04-01)AIMS: Glioneuronal tumours (GNTs) are poorly distinguished by their histology and lack robust diagnostic indicators. Previously, we showed that common GNTs comprise two molecularly distinct groups, correlating poorly with ... -
DNA origami-based single-molecule force spectroscopy elucidates RNA Polymerase III pre-initiation complex stability.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-05)The TATA-binding protein (TBP) and a transcription factor (TF) IIB-like factor are important constituents of all eukaryotic initiation complexes. The reason for the emergence and strict requirement of the additional ... -
DNA repair deficiency sensitizes lung cancer cells to NAD+ biosynthesis blockade.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)Synthetic lethality is an efficient mechanism-based approach to selectively target DNA repair defects. Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) deficiency is frequently found in non-small-cell lung cancer ... -
DNA Repair in Prostate Cancer: Biology and Clinical Implications.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017-03-01)CONTEXT: For more precise, personalized care in prostate cancer (PC), a new classification based on molecular features relevant for prognostication and treatment stratification is needed. Genomic aberrations in the DNA ... -
DNA replication stress mediates APOBEC3 family mutagenesis in breast cancer.
(BMC, 2016-09-15)BACKGROUND: The APOBEC3 family of cytidine deaminases mutate the cancer genome in a range of cancer types. Although many studies have documented the downstream effects of APOBEC3 activity through next-generation sequencing, ... -
DNA-PKcs is required for cGAS/STING-dependent viral DNA sensing in human cells.
(CELL PRESS, 2024-01-19)To mount an efficient interferon response to virus infection, intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) sense viral nucleic acids and activate anti-viral gene transcription. The mechanisms by which intracellular ... -
DNA-Repair Defects and Olaparib in Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2015-10-29)BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease, but current treatments are not based on molecular stratification. We hypothesized that metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancers with DNA-repair defects would ... -
Do imaging biomarkers relate to outcome in patients treated with VEGF inhibitors?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2012-12-15)The management of solid tumors has been transformed by the advent of VEGF pathway inhibitors. Early clinical evaluation of these drugs has used pharmacodynamic biomarkers derived from advanced imaging such as dynamic MRI, ... -
Do Patient-reported Outcome Measures Agree with Clinical and Photographic Assessments of Normal Tissue Effects after Breast Radiotherapy? The Experience of the Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy (START) Trials in Early Breast Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2016-06-01)AIMS: In radiotherapy trials, normal tissue effects (NTE) are important end points and it is pertinent to ask whether patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) could replace clinical and/or photographic assessments. Data ... -
Do traditional risk stratification models for cerebrovascular events apply in irradiated head and neck cancer patients?
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-09-01)BACKGROUND: Primary radical radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) often results in significant radiation dose to the carotid arteries. AIM: We assessed whether HNC patients are at increased risk of a cerebrovascular ... -
Do we still need breast cancer screening in the era of targeted therapies and precision medicine?
(SPRINGER WIEN, 2020-09-25)Breast cancer (BC) is the most common female cancer and the second cause of death among women worldwide. The 5-year relative survival rate recently improved up to 90% due to increased population coverage and women's ... -
Docetaxel for Nonmetastatic Prostate Cancer: Long-Term Survival Outcomes in the STAMPEDE Randomized Controlled Trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-07-01)BACKGROUND: STAMPEDE previously reported adding upfront docetaxel improved overall survival for prostate cancer patients starting long-term androgen deprivation therapy. We report long-term results for non-metastatic ... -
Docetaxel Treatment in PTEN- and ERG-aberrant Metastatic Prostate Cancers.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-05-01)BACKGROUND: Loss of PTEN is a common genomic aberration in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and is frequently concurrent with ERG rearrangements, causing resistance to next-generation hormonal treatment (NGHT) ... -
Does age matter? A comparison of health-related quality of life issues of adolescents and young adults with cancer.
(WILEY, 2018-11-01)OBJECTIVE: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) concerns of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 14-25 years were compared with those of older adults (26-60 years) with cancer. METHODS: AYAs and older adults receiving ... -
Does Body Contouring After Bariatric Weight Loss Enhance Quality of Life? A Systematic Review of QOL Studies.
(2018-10)Massive weight loss following bariatric surgery can result in excess tissue, manifesting as large areas of redundant skin that can be managed by body contouring surgery. This study aims to quantify the effects of body ... -
Does breast composition influence late adverse effects in breast radiotherapy?
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2016-04-01)BACKGROUND: Large breast size is associated with increased risk of late adverse effects after surgery and radiotherapy for early breast cancer. It is hypothesised that effects of radiotherapy on adipose tissue are responsible ... -
