Isolated limb perfusion for unresectable extremity cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma; an effective limb saving strategy.
(2018-08)
Background A small minority of patients present with locally advanced cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cSCC). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Tumour necrosis factor α (TNF) and melphalan based ...
Mesenchymal Cancer Cell-Stroma Crosstalk Promotes Niche Activation, Epithelial Reversion, and Metastatic Colonization.
(2015-12-06)
During metastatic colonization, tumor cells must establish a favorable microenvironment or niche that will sustain their growth. However, both the temporal and molecular details of this process remain poorly understood. ...
ProCAID: a phase I clinical trial to combine the AKT inhibitor AZD5363 with docetaxel and prednisolone chemotherapy for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.
(2017-10)
Background Docetaxel and prednisolone chemotherapy (DP) extends survival in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). However, emergent clinical resistance is almost inevitable. AKT pathway activation is ...
A method to verify sections of arc during intrafraction portal dosimetry for prostate VMAT.
(2019-10-16)
This study investigates the use of a running sum of images during segment-resolved intrafraction portal dosimetry for volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), so as to alert the operator to an error before it becomes ...
Age as an independent prognostic factor for survival of localised synovial sarcoma patients.
(2015-12)
Background We performed a retrospective nationwide study to explore age as a prognostic factor in synovial sarcoma patients.Methods Data on 613 synovial sarcoma patients were obtained from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. ...
PRISM protocol: a randomised phase II trial of nivolumab in combination with alternatively scheduled ipilimumab in first-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
(2019-11-14)
BACKGROUND:The combination of nivolumab, a programmed death-1 (PD-1) targeted monoclonal antibody, with the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) targeted antibody, ipilimumab, represents a new standard of care in the ...
Opportunities for research in molecular radiotherapy.
(2017-03)
Cancer has been treated with radiopharmaceuticals for 80 years. A recent National Cancer Research Institute report from the Clinical and Translational Radiotherapy Research Working Group reviews the current status of ...
Cisplatin Substitution with Carboplatin During Radical Chemoradiotherapy for Oesophagogastric Carcinoma: Outcomes from a Tertiary Centre.
(2018-10)
Background/aim Cisplatin-based radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is utilised in oesophagogastric (OG) cancer but the toxicity profile of cisplatin limits its use. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and ...
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 ...
SGLT1 is required for the survival of triple-negative breast cancer cells via potentiation of EGFR activity.
(2019-09)
Sodium/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1), an essential active glucose transport protein that helps maintain high intracellular glucose levels, was previously shown to interact with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR); ...
