Assessing the effect of obesity-related traits on multiple myeloma using a Mendelian randomisation approach.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-16)
Choose and Use Your Chemical Probe Wisely to Explore Cancer Biology.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-07-10)
Small-molecule chemical probes or tools have become progressively more important in recent years as valuable reagents to investigate fundamental biological mechanisms and processes causing disease, including cancer. Chemical ...
Risks of Breast, Ovarian, and Contralateral Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-06-20)
IMPORTANCE: The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers requires accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. OBJECTIVES: To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer ...
Identifying and Validating Tankyrase Binders and Substrates: A Candidate Approach.
(Springer New York, 2017-01-01)
The poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) enzyme tankyrase (TNKS/ARTD5, TNKS2/ARTD6) uses its ankyrin repeat clusters (ARCs) to recognize degenerate peptide motifs in a wide range of proteins, thereby recruiting such proteins ...
Randomized controlled trial of dietary fiber for the prevention of radiation-induced gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic radiotherapy.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-09-01)
Background: Therapeutic radiotherapy is an important treatment of pelvic cancers. Historically, low-fiber diets have been recommended despite a lack of evidence and potentially beneficial mechanisms of fiber.Objective: ...
CancerGD: A Resource for Identifying and Interpreting Genetic Dependencies in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-07-26)
Genes whose function is selectively essential in the presence of cancer-associated genetic aberrations represent promising targets for the development of precision therapeutics. Here, we present CancerGD, a resource that ...
Development and validation of a LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of the checkpoint kinase 1 inhibitor SRA737 in human plasma.
(FUTURE SCI LTD, 2017-07-01)
AIM: SRA737 is an orally active small-molecule inhibitor of checkpoint kinase 1 being investigated in an oncology setting. A HPLC-MS/MS method for quantifying plasma concentrations of SRA737 was validated. METHODS & RESULTS: ...
SOX11 promotes invasive growth and ductal carcinoma in situ progression.
(WILEY, 2017-10-01)
Here, we show that SOX11, an embryonic mammary marker that is normally silent in postnatal breast cells, is expressed in many oestrogen receptor-negative preinvasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions. Mature mammary ...
Gene expression modules in primary breast cancers as risk factors for organotropic patterns of first metastatic spread: a case control study.
(BMC, 2017-10-13)
BACKGROUND: Metastases from primary breast cancers can involve single or multiple organs at metastatic disease diagnosis. Molecular risk factors for particular patterns of metastastic spread in a clinical population are ...
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, ...
