Can patient decision aids reduce decisional conflict in a de-escalation of breast radiotherapy clinical trial? The PRIMETIME Study Within a Trial implemented using a cluster stepped-wedge trial design.
(2021-06-14)
<h4>Background</h4>For patients with early breast cancer considered at very-low risk of local relapse, risks of radiotherapy may outweigh the benefits. Decisions regarding treatment omission can lead to patient uncertainty ...
Early switch from intravenous to oral antibiotic therapy in patients with cancer who have low-risk neutropenic sepsis: the EASI-SWITCH RCT.
(NIHR JOURNALS LIBRARY, 2024-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Neutropenic sepsis is a common complication of systemic anticancer treatment. There is variation in practice in timing of switch to oral antibiotics after commencement of empirical intravenous antibiotic therapy. ...
Discordance in Recommendation Between Next-Generation Sequencing Test Reports and Molecular Tumor Boards in India.
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2024-03-01)
PURPOSE: Accurate understanding of the genomic and transcriptomic data provided by next-generation sequencing (NGS) is essential for the effective utilization of precision oncology. Molecular tumor boards (MTBs) aim to ...
Challenges and controversies in resectable non-small cell lung cancer: a clinician's perspective.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)
The treatment landscape of resectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is transforming due to the approval of novel adjuvant and neoadjuvant systemic treatments. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) recently ...
Outcomes in biomarker-selected subgroups from the KESTREL study of durvalumab and tremelimumab in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
(SPRINGER, 2024-03-02)
BACKGROUND: Selective biomarkers may improve outcomes in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We investigated three ...
New systemic treatment paradigms in resectable non-small cell lung cancer and variations in patient access across Europe.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-03-01)
The treatment landscape of resectable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is set to change significantly due to encouraging results from randomized trials evaluating neoadjuvant and adjuvant immunotherapy, as ...
Workshop report: the clinical application of data from multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs), 12 July 2023.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2024-05-01)
Clinical classification of genomic variants identified on sequencing is often challenging, with many variants classified as Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) on account of insufficient evidence. Advances in sequencing ...
Structural basis for the modulation of MRP2 activity by phosphorylation and drugs.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-03-04)
Multidrug resistance-associated protein 2 (MRP2/ABCC2) is a polyspecific efflux transporter of organic anions expressed in hepatocyte canalicular membranes. MRP2 dysfunction, in Dubin-Johnson syndrome or by off-target ...
Cancer Evolution: A Multifaceted Affair.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-01-12)
UNLABELLED: Cancer cells adapt and survive through the acquisition and selection of molecular modifications. This process defines cancer evolution. Building on a theoretical framework based on heritable genetic changes has ...
Discovering cell-active BCL6 inhibitors: effectively combining biochemical HTS with multiple biophysical techniques, X-ray crystallography and cell-based assays.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-03)
By suppressing gene transcription through the recruitment of corepressor proteins, B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) protein controls a transcriptional network required for the formation and maintenance of B-cell germinal centres. ...
