Genetic Testing and Clinical Management Practices for Variants in Non-BRCA1/2 Breast (and Breast/Ovarian) Cancer Susceptibility Genes: An International Survey by the Evidence-Based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) Clinical Working Group.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-01-01)
PURPOSE: To describe a snapshot of international genetic testing practices, specifically regarding the use of multigene panels, for hereditary breast/ovarian cancers. We conducted a survey through the Evidence-Based Network ...
Large-scale transcriptome-wide association study identifies new prostate cancer risk regions.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-10-04)
Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for prostate cancer (PrCa) have identified more than 100 risk regions, most of the risk genes at these regions remain largely unknown. Here we integrate the largest PrCa GWAS ...
Association analyses of more than 140,000 men identify 63 new prostate cancer susceptibility loci.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and fine-mapping efforts to date have identified more than 100 prostate cancer (PrCa)-susceptibility loci. We meta-analyzed genotype data from a custom high-density array of 46,939 ...
Rare germline variants in DNA repair genes and the angiogenesis pathway predispose prostate cancer patients to develop metastatic disease.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-07-03)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PrCa) demonstrates a heterogeneous clinical presentation ranging from largely indolent to lethal. We sought to identify a signature of rare inherited variants that distinguishes between these ...
Prostate Cancer Germline Variations and Implications for Screening and Treatment.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-09-04)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly heritable disease, and rapid evolution of sequencing technologies has enabled marked progression of our understanding of its genetic inheritance. A complex polygenic model that involves ...
RAZOR: A Phase II Open Randomized Trial of Screening Plus Goserelin and Raloxifene Versus Screening Alone in Premenopausal Women at Increased Risk of Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-01-01)
Background: Ovarian suppression in premenopausal women is known to reduce breast cancer risk. This study aimed to assess uptake and compliance with ovarian suppression using the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) ...
DESNT: A Poor Prognosis Category of Human Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-12-01)
BACKGROUND: A critical problem in the clinical management of prostate cancer is that it is highly heterogeneous. Accurate prediction of individual cancer behaviour is therefore not achievable at the time of diagnosis leading ...
Management of Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer: The Report of the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference APCCC 2017.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: In advanced prostate cancer (APC), successful drug development as well as advances in imaging and molecular characterisation have resulted in multiple areas where there is lack of evidence or low level of ...
A Review of Prostate Cancer Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS).
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-08-01)
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in Europe and the United States. The genetic heritability of prostate cancer is contributed to by both rarely occurring genetic variants with higher penetrance and moderate ...
Large-scale Analysis Demonstrates Familial Testicular Cancer to have Polygenic Aetiology.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-09-01)
UNLABELLED: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Multiplex TGCT families have been well reported and analyses of population cancer registries have demonstrated a four- to eightfold ...
