Phase 1/2 Dose-Escalation Study of the Use of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy to Treat the Prostate and Pelvic Nodes in Patients With Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-12-01)
PURPOSE: To investigate the feasibility of dose escalation and hypofractionation of pelvic lymph node intensity modulated radiation therapy (PLN-IMRT) in prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS AND MATERIALS: In a phase 1/2 study, ...
Motion monitoring during a course of lung radiotherapy with anchored electromagnetic transponders : Quantification of inter- and intrafraction motion and variability of relative transponder positions.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2017-10-01)
PURPOSE: Anchored electromagnetic transponders for tumor motion monitoring during lung radiotherapy were clinically evaluated. First, intrafractional motion patterns were analyzed as well as their interfractional variations. ...
Gene-environment interactions involving functional variants: Results from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)
Investigating the most likely causal variants identified by fine-mapping analyses may improve the power to detect gene-environment interactions. We assessed the interplay between 70 single nucleotide polymorphisms identified ...
Rationale for Modernising Imaging in Advanced Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-04-01)
CONTEXT: To effectively manage patients with advanced prostate cancer (APC), it is essential to have accurate, reproducible, and validated methods for detecting and quantifying the burden of bone and soft tissue metastases ...
Molecular mechanisms of Bdp1 in TFIIIB assembly and RNA polymerase III transcription initiation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-25)
Initiation of gene transcription by RNA polymerase (Pol) III requires the activity of TFIIIB, a complex formed by Brf1 (or Brf2), TBP (TATA-binding protein), and Bdp1. TFIIIB is required for recruitment of Pol III and to ...
Gene Copy Number Estimation from Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing of Prostate Cancer Biopsies: Analytic Validation and Clinical Qualification.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-10-15)
Purpose: Precise detection of copy number aberrations (CNA) from tumor biopsies is critically important to the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer. The use of targeted panel next-generation sequencing (NGS) is inexpensive, ...
Androgen Receptor Variants Mediate DNA Repair after Prostate Cancer Irradiation.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-15)
In prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) enhances the cytotoxic effects of radiotherapy. This effect is associated with weakening of the DNA damage response (DDR) normally supported by the androgen receptor. ...
Active multiple myeloma suppresses and typically eliminates coexisting MGUS.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-05)
BACKGROUND: Myeloma is consistently preceded by premalignant monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In >5% of MGUS patients there is a second MGUS clone (biclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance; ...
Application of Liquid Biopsies in Cancer Targeted Therapy.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)
As a growing body of evidence demonstrates intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity and clonal evolution, both during carcinogenesis and also throughout treatment resulting in acquired drug resistance, the utility of ...
Functionally Null RAD51D Missense Mutation Associates Strongly with Ovarian Carcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-15)
RAD51D is a key player in DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR), and RAD51D truncating variant carriers have an increased risk for ovarian cancer. However, the contribution of nontruncating RAD51D variants to cancer ...
