Mismatch Repair Deficiency, Microsatellite Instability, and Survival: An Exploratory Analysis of the Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy (MAGIC) Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-09-01)
IMPORTANCE: Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency (MMRD) and microsatellite instability (MSI) are prognostic for survival in many cancers and for resistance to fluoropyrimidines in early colon cancer. However, the effect of ...
The predictive and prognostic value of tumour necrosis in muscle invasive bladder cancer patients receiving radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy in the BC2001 trial (CRUK/01/004).
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-02-28)
BACKGROUND: Severe chronic hypoxia is associated with tumour necrosis. In patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), necrosis is prognostic for survival following surgery or radiotherapy and predicts benefit from ...
AKT Inhibition in Solid Tumors With AKT1 Mutations.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2017-07-10)
Purpose AKT1 E17K mutations are oncogenic and occur in many cancers at a low prevalence. We performed a multihistology basket study of AZD5363, an ATP-competitive pan-AKT kinase inhibitor, to determine the preliminary ...
Subsequent Chemotherapy and Treatment Patterns After Abiraterone Acetate in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer: Post Hoc Analysis of COU-AA-302.
(ELSEVIER, 2017-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment patterns for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have changed substantially in the last few years. In trial COU-AA-302 (chemotherapy-naïve men with mCRPC), abiraterone acetate plus ...
Family history and risk of breast cancer: an analysis accounting for family structure.
(SPRINGER, 2017-08-01)
PURPOSE: Family history is an important risk factor for breast cancer incidence, but the parameters conventionally used to categorize it are based solely on numbers and/or ages of breast cancer cases in the family and take ...
Risk of Second Cancer in Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors and Influence of Family History.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2017-05-10)
Purpose Although advances in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment have led to improved disease-free survival, this has been accompanied by an increased risk of second cancers. We sought to quantify the second cancer risks and ...
Effect on Overall Survival of Locoregional Treatment in a Cohort of De Novo Metastatic Prostate Cancer Patients: A Single Institution Retrospective Analysis From the Royal Marsden Hospital.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: The optimal management of the primary tumor in metastatic at diagnosis (M1) prostate cancer (PCa) patients is not yet established. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of locoregional treatment (LRT) on ...
Gefitinib and EGFR Gene Copy Number Aberrations in Esophageal Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-07-10)
Purpose The Cancer Esophagus Gefitinib trial demonstrated improved progression-free survival with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib relative to placebo in patients with advanced ...
A randomised controlled trial of Caphosol mouthwash in management of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-02-01)
PURPOSE: This phase III, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled study evaluated the efficacy of Caphosol mouthwash in the management of radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) in patients with head and neck cancer ...
Tumour auto-contouring on 2d cine MRI for locally advanced lung cancer: A comparative study.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-12-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy guidance based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently becoming a clinical reality. Fast 2d cine MRI sequences are expected to increase the precision of radiation delivery by ...
