Analysis of 153 115 patients with hematological malignancies refines the spectrum of familial risk.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2019-09)
Estimating familial cancer risks is clinically important in being able to discriminate between individuals in the population at differing risk for malignancy. To gain insight into the familial risk for the different ...
Differences in Signaling Patterns on PI3K Inhibition Reveal Context Specificity in KRAS-Mutant Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-08-01)
It is increasingly appreciated that drug response to different cancers driven by the same oncogene is different and may relate to differences in rewiring of signal transduction. We aimed to study differences in dynamic ...
Spect perfusion imaging versus CT for predicting radiation injury to normal lung in lung cancer patients.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-09-01)
OBJECTIVES: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, to establish whether the fractional volumes of irradiated anatomic or perfused lung differed between those with and without deteriorating lung function or radiation ...
Validation of T2- and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for mapping intra-prostatic tumour prior to focal boost dose-escalation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-12-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess the diagnostic accuracy and inter-observer agreement of T2-weighted (T2W) and diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for mapping intra-prostatic tumour lesions (IPLs) for ...
Comparison of BEAMing and Droplet Digital PCR for Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, 2019-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays are increasingly used for clinical decision-making, but it is unknown how well different assays agree. We aimed to assess the agreement in ctDNA mutation calling between ...
ATMIN Is a Tumor Suppressor Gene in Lung Adenocarcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)
Tumor cells proliferate rapidly and thus are frequently subjected to replication stress and the risk of incomplete duplication of the genome. Fragile sites are replicated late, making them more vulnerable to damage when ...
Integrin-Mediated Macrophage Adhesion Promotes Lymphovascular Dissemination in Breast Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-14)
Lymphatic vasculature is crucial for metastasis in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, cellular and molecular drivers controlling lymphovascular metastasis are poorly understood. We define a macrophage-dependent ...
Measuring Clonal Evolution in Cancer with Genomics.
(ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2019-08-31)
Cancers originate from somatic cells in the human body that have accumulated genetic alterations. These mutations modify the phenotype of the cells, allowing them to escape the homeostatic regulation that maintains normal ...
ALPK1 hotspot mutation as a driver of human spiradenoma and spiradenocarcinoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-17)
Spiradenoma and cylindroma are distinctive skin adnexal tumors with sweat gland differentiation and potential for malignant transformation and aggressive behaviour. We present the genomic analysis of 75 samples from 57 ...
How to design a dose-finding study using the continual reassessment method.
(BMC, 2019-01-18)
INTRODUCTION: The continual reassessment method (CRM) is a model-based design for phase I trials, which aims to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new therapy. The CRM has been shown to be more accurate in targeting ...
