Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab for Treatment-Naïve Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: An Open-Label, Multicenter, Phase II Trial by the Spanish Multidisciplinary Melanoma Group (GEM-1402).
(2021-01-08)
Purpose This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the combination of nivolumab (nivo) plus ipilimumab (ipi) as a first-line therapy with respect to the 12-month overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic uveal ...
A national survey assessing public readiness for digital health strategies against COVID-19 within the United Kingdom.
(2021-03-16)
There is concern that digital public health initiatives used in the management of COVID-19 may marginalise certain population groups. There is an overlap between the demographics of groups at risk of digital exclusion ...

Advanced magnetic resonance imaging in lung mesothelioma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-07-31)
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a rind-like growth pattern and may have both solid disease and pleural fluid, so it is very challenging to accurately categorize change in tumour burden using size-based tumour ...
Improving outcomes in older women with ovarian cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Background: Older women have disproportionately poorer survival outcomes for ovarian cancer. Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and density is of interest as a potential non-invasive biomarker of frailty. Little is ...
Investigating acute cellular responses to elevated APOBEC3B expression
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
The cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B) functions as part of innate immunity by mutating viral DNA and preventing replication. Large-scale genome sequencing studies and examination of expression levels have identified mutations ...
Characterizing the metabolic fate of (2S, 4R)-4-[18F]fluoroglutamine and its applications in cancer imaging and treatment response monitoring
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Glutaminolysis is a crucial pathway to provide the nitrogen source in addition to the carbon source from the glycolysis pathway for proliferating cells. (2S, 4R)-4-[18F]fluoroglutamine (4-[18F]fluoroglutamine) is potentially ...
Next generation circulating tumour DNA detection and subclonality analysis for gastrointestinal cancer therapy personalisation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-05-31)
Background: Gastrointestinal cancers are associated with poor outcomes as many patients present with advanced disease. Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) is a major barrier to predicting the evolution of cancers and successful ...
Cross-species identification of PIP5K1-, splicing- and ubiquitin-related pathways as potential targets for RB1-deficient cells.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2021-02-16)
The RB1 tumor suppressor is recurrently mutated in a variety of cancers including retinoblastomas, small cell lung cancers, triple-negative breast cancers, prostate cancers, and osteosarcomas. Finding new synthetic lethal ...
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
