11 years' follow-up of trastuzumab after adjuvant chemotherapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer: final analysis of the HERceptin Adjuvant (HERA) trial.
(2017-03-25)BACKGROUND: Clinical trials have shown that trastuzumab, a recombinant monoclonal antibody against HER2 receptor, significantly improves overall survival and disease-free survival in women with HER2-positive early breast ... -
the 11q13-q14 amplicon: Clinicopathological correlations and potential drivers
(WILEY, 2013-04)Amplification at 11q13-q14 is a common event in cancers from multiple anatomical sites. This complex amplicon has multiple cores and several genes have been put forward as potential drivers. In this review, based on the ... -
14-3-3 Proteins Interact with a Hybrid Prenyl-Phosphorylation Motif to Inhibit G Proteins
(2013-04)Signaling through G proteins normally involves conformational switching between GTP- and GDP-bound states. Several Rho GTPases are also regulated by RhoGDI binding and sequestering in the cytosol. Rnd proteins are atypical ... -
14-3-3 sigma stabilizes a complex of soluble actin and intermediate filament to enable breast tumor invasion
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2013-10-08)The protein 14-3-3s (stratifin) is frequently described as a tumor suppressor silenced in about 80% of breast tumors. Intriguingly, we show that 14-3-3s expression, which in normal breast is localized to the myoepithelial ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT in Detecting Metastatic Infection in Children.
(2016-04)Metastatic infection is a severe complication of bacteremia with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET combined with CT (FDG PET/CT) in children suspected ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT in Local Ablative Therapies: A Systematic Review.
(2018-04)Driven by the continuous improvement in the accuracy of cross-sectional imaging, image-guided minimally invasive local ablative therapies have received incremental interest over the past few years. In this article, we ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT Optimizes Treatment in Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia and Is Associated with Reduced Mortality.
(2017-09)Metastatic infection is an important complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB). Early diagnosis of metastatic infection is crucial, because specific treatment is required. However, metastatic infection can be ... -
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography as a diagnostic tool in native valve endocarditis.
(2018-08)OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) in diagnosing native valve endocarditis (NVE). PATIENTS AND ... -
2,8-Disubstituted-1,6-Naphthyridines and 4,6-Disubstituted-Isoquinolines with Potent, Selective Affinity for CDK8/19.
(2016-06)We demonstrate a designed scaffold-hop approach to the discovery of 2,8-disubstituted-1,6-naphthyridine- and 4,6-disubstituted-isoquinoline-based dual CDK8/19 ligands. Optimized compounds in both series exhibited rapid ... -
20-Year Risks of Breast-Cancer Recurrence after Stopping Endocrine Therapy at 5 Years.
(2017-11-09)BACKGROUND: The administration of endocrine therapy for 5 years substantially reduces recurrence rates during and after treatment in women with early-stage, estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Extending such ... -
3 versus 6 months of adjuvant oxaliplatin-fluoropyrimidine combination therapy for colorectal cancer (SCOT): an international, randomised, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.
(2018-04)BACKGROUND: 6 months of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy is usually given as adjuvant treatment for stage 3 colorectal cancer. We investigated whether 3 months of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy would be non-inferior ... -

3D modelling identifies novel genetic dependencies associated with breast cancer progression in the isogenic MCF10 model.
(2016-08-11)The initiation and progression of breast cancer from the transformation of the normal epithelium to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive disease is a complex process involving the acquisition of genetic alterations, ... -
6p abnormalities and TNF-α over-expression in retinoblastoma cell line
(2001)Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intra-ocular tumor in childhood. It has been established that recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities are the hallmark of mostly all malignant tumors. Recurrent atypical cytogenetic ... -
Abdo-Man: a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom for validating quantitative SIRT.
(2016-12)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 ... -
The ability to accumulate deoxyuridine triphosphate and cellular response to thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibition
(2001-08)The ability to accumulate deoxyuridine triphosphate and cellular response to thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibition. Thymidylate synthase (TS) is an important enzyme catalysing the reductive methylation of dUMP to dTMP that ... -
Abiraterone for Prostate Cancer Not Previously Treated with Hormone Therapy.
(2017-07-27)BACKGROUND: Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone improves survival in men with relapsed prostate cancer. We assessed the effect of this combination in men starting long-term androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), using a ... -
Abiraterone shows alternate activity in models of endocrine resistant and sensitive disease.
(2018-08)BACKGROUND: Resistance to endocrine therapy remains a major clinical problem in the treatment of oestrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Studies show androgen-receptor (AR) remains present in 80-90% of metastatic ... -
Ablative Therapy for Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
(2017-11)The oligometastatic state represents a distinct entity among those with metastatic disease and consists of patients with metastases limited in number and location, representing an intermediate state between locally confined ...
