Real-time intrafraction motion monitoring in external beam radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-08-07)
Radiotherapy (RT) aims to deliver a spatially conformal dose of radiation to tumours while maximizing the dose sparing to healthy tissues. However, the internal patient anatomy is constantly moving due to respiratory, ...
The long-term prognostic and predictive capacity of cyclin D1 gene amplification in 2305 breast tumours.
(BMC, 2019-02-28)
BACKGROUND: Use of cyclin D1 (CCND1) gene amplification as a breast cancer biomarker has been hampered by conflicting assessments of the relationship between cyclin D1 protein levels and patient survival. Here, we aimed ...
Quality assurance guidance for scoring and reporting for pathologists and laboratories undertaking clinical trial work.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
While pathologists have always played a pivotal role in clinical trials ensuring accurate diagnosis and staging, pathology data from prognostic and predictive tests are increasingly being used to enrol, stratify and randomise ...
A novel role for NUPR1 in the keratinocyte stress response to UV oxidized phospholipids.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-01-01)
Ultraviolet light is the dominant environmental oxidative skin stressor and a major skin aging factor. We studied which oxidized phospholipid (OxPL) mediators would be generated in primary human keratinocytes (KC) upon ...
The use of digital pathology and image analysis in clinical trials.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Digital pathology and image analysis potentially provide greater accuracy, reproducibility and standardisation of pathology-based trial entry criteria and endpoints, alongside extracting new insights from both existing and ...
Crypt fusion as a homeostatic mechanism in the human colon.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-01)
OBJECTIVE: The crypt population in the human intestine is dynamic: crypts can divide to produce two new daughter crypts through a process termed crypt fission, but whether this is balanced by a second process to remove ...
Polygenic risk-tailored screening for prostate cancer: A benefit-harm and cost-effectiveness modelling study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-12-01)
BACKGROUND: The United States Preventive Services Task Force supports individualised decision-making for prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening in men aged 55-69. Knowing how the potential benefits and harms of ...
Interim Results from the IMPACT Study: Evidence for Prostate-specific Antigen Screening in BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-09-18)
BACKGROUND: Mutations in BRCA2 cause a higher risk of early-onset aggressive prostate cancer (PrCa). The IMPACT study is evaluating targeted PrCa screening using prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) in men with germline BRCA1/2 ...
Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has ...
Radiotherapy Quality Assurance for the CHHiP Trial: Conventional Versus Hypofractionated High-Dose Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2019-09)
AIMS: The CHHiP trial investigated the use of moderate hypofractionation for the treatment of localised prostate cancer using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). A radiotherapy quality assurance programme was developed ...
