Comparison of 90Y SIRT predicted and delivered absorbed doses using a PSF conversion method.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-07-30)
PURPOSE: The aims of this study were to develop and apply a method to correct for the differences in partial volume effects of pre-therapy Technetium-99 m (99mTc)-MAA SPECT and post-therapy Yttrium-90 (90Y) bremsstrahlung ...
Features and Management of Late Relapse of Nonseminomatous Germ Cell Tumour.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06-07)
BACKGROUND: Late relapse (LR) of nonseminomatous germ cell tumour (NSGCT) is uncommon, with limited data published. LR is defined as relapse occurring after a disease-free interval of 2 yr. OBJECTIVE: To review features ...
Phosphorylation-dependent assembly of DNA damage response systems and the central roles of TOPBP1.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-10-19)
The cellular response to DNA damage (DDR) that causes replication collapse and/or DNA double strand breaks, is characterised by a massive change in the post-translational modifications (PTM) of hundreds of proteins involved ...
Costs and staffing resource requirements for adaptive clinical trials: quantitative and qualitative results from the Costing Adaptive Trials project.
(BMC, 2021-10-26)
BACKGROUND: Adaptive designs offer great promise in improving the efficiency and patient-benefit of clinical trials. An important barrier to further increased use is a lack of understanding about which additional resources ...
Impact of the menstrual cycle on commercial prognostic gene signatures in oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-01)
PURPOSE: Changes occur in the expression of oestrogen-regulated and proliferation-associated genes in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours during the menstrual cycle. We investigated if Oncotype® DX recurrence ...
Quality assurance of dysphagia-optimised intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment planning for head and neck cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-10-01)
This study aimed to assess the impact of the margin applied to the clinical target volume, to create the planning target volume, on plan quality of a novel dysphagia-optimised intensity modulated radiotherapy technique ...
Genome-wide association study identifies susceptibility loci for acute myeloid leukemia.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-10-29)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematological malignancy with an undefined heritable risk. Here we perform a meta-analysis of three genome-wide association studies, with replication in a fourth study, incorporating a ...
Sirtuin inhibition is synthetic lethal with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-08)
PARP enzymes utilise NAD+ as a co-substrate for their enzymatic activity. Inhibition of PARP1 is synthetic lethal with defects in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. In order to assess whether other genes implicated in NAD+ metabolism ...
Cancer drivers and clonal dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia subtypes.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-11-09)
To obtain a comprehensive picture of composite genetic driver events and clonal dynamics in subtypes of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) we analysed tumour-normal whole genome sequencing and expression data ...
An Overview of X-ray Photon Counting Spectral Imaging (x-CSI) with a Focus on Gold Nanoparticle Quantification in Oncology.
(MDPI, 2021-12-31)
This review article offers an overview of the differences between traditional energy integrating (EI) X-ray imaging and the new technique of X-ray photon counting spectral imaging (x-CSI). The review is motivated by the ...
