Predictive and prognostic factors associated with soft tissue sarcoma response to chemotherapy: a subgroup analysis of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer 62012 study.
(2017-07)
Background The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 62012 study was a Phase III trial of doxorubicin versus doxorubicin-ifosfamide chemotherapy in 455 patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma ...
Ki67 Proliferation Index as a Tool for Chemotherapy Decisions During and After Neoadjuvant Aromatase Inhibitor Treatment of Breast Cancer: Results From the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group Z1031 Trial (Alliance).
(2017-04)
Purpose To determine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in estrogen receptor (ER) -positive primary breast cancer triaged to chemotherapy when the protein encoded by the MKI67 gene (Ki67) level was > 10% after 2 ...
A First-in-Human, Phase I, Dose-Escalation Study of TAK-117, a Selective PI3Kα Isoform Inhibitor, in Patients with Advanced Solid Malignancies.
(2017-09)
Purpose: To evaluate the safety, MTD, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary antitumor activity of TAK-117 (MLN1117/INK1117), an investigational PI3Kα-selective inhibitor, in patients with advanced solid tumors. ...
Predicting Relapse with Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis in Lung Cancer.
(2017-12)
Advances in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis are revealing new treatment strategies for patients with cancer. Detection of residual disease with ctDNA analysis predicts relapse with high accuracy after treatment for ...
Natural Selection in Cancer Biology: From Molecular Snowflakes to Trait Hallmarks
(2017-02)
Evolution by natural selection is the conceptual foundation for nearly every branch of biology and increasingly also for biomedicine and medical research. In cancer biology, evolution explains how populations of cells in ...
Immunohistochemical Phenotype of Breast Cancer during 25-Year Follow-up of the Royal Marsden Tamoxifen Prevention Trial.
(2017-03)
The randomized, double-blinded Royal Marsden Tamoxifen Breast Cancer Prevention Trial in healthy high-risk women started in 1986 and is still blinded. Eligible participants (<i>n</i> = 2,471) were randomly assigned to ...
Histone Code and Higher-Order Chromatin Folding: A Hypothesis.
(Kernel Press UG (haftungsbeschrankt), 2017-01-01)
Histone modifications alone or in combination are thought to modulate chromatin structure and function; a concept termed histone code. By combining evidence from several studies, we investigated if the histone code can ...
A Specific Distress Cutoff Score Shortly After Breast Cancer Diagnosis.
(2017-05)
Background High levels of distress are expected shortly after the diagnosis breast cancer. The Distress Thermometer (DT) is commonly used to screen for distress, using a cutoff score of 4 or 5; however, this score might ...
Second-line treatment for metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer: experts' consensus algorithms.
(2017-04)
Background Second-line systemic treatment options for metastatic clear cell renal cell cancer (mccRCC) are diverse and treatment strategies are variable among experts. Our aim was to investigate the approach for the ...
An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
(2017-03)
Purpose Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ...
