Can patient decision aids reduce decisional conflict in a de-escalation of breast radiotherapy clinical trial? The PRIMETIME Study Within a Trial implemented using a cluster stepped-wedge trial design.
(BMC, 2021-06-14)
BACKGROUND: For patients with early breast cancer considered at very-low risk of local relapse, risks of radiotherapy may outweigh the benefits. Decisions regarding treatment omission can lead to patient uncertainty ...
Would the Recommended Dose Have Been Different Using Novel Dose-Finding Designs? Comparing Dose-Finding Designs in Published Trials.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-06-01)
UNLABELLED: Simulation studies have shown that novel designs such as the continual reassessment method and the Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design outperform the 3 + 3 design by recommending the maximum tolerated dose ...
Metastasis and Immune Evasion from Extracellular cGAMP Hydrolysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-05-01)
Cytosolic DNA is characteristic of chromosomally unstable metastatic cancer cells, resulting in constitutive activation of the cGAS-STING innate immune pathway. How tumors co-opt inflammatory signaling while evading immune ...
Targeting Cancer Heterogeneity with Immune Responses Driven by Oncolytic Peptides.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-01-11)
Accumulating preclinical and clinical evidence indicates that high degrees of heterogeneity among malignant cells constitute a considerable obstacle to the success of cancer therapy. This calls for the development of ...
2.5 Å-resolution structure of human CDK-activating kinase bound to the clinical inhibitor ICEC0942.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-02-16)
The human CDK-activating kinase (CAK), composed of CDK7, cyclin H, and MAT1, is involved in the control of transcription initiation and the cell cycle. Because of these activities, it has been identified as a promising ...
The Mutational Concordance of Fixed Formalin Paraffin Embedded and Fresh Frozen Gastro-Oesophageal Tumours Using Whole Exome Sequencing.
(MDPI, 2021-01-09)
UNLABELLED: 1. BACKGROUND: The application of massively parallel sequencing has led to the identification of aberrant druggable pathways and somatic mutations within therapeutically relevant genes in gastro-oesophageal ...
New target volume delineation and PTV strategies to further personalise radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2021-02-25)
Target volume delineation uncertainty (DU) is arguably one of the largest geometric uncertainties in radiotherapy that are accounted for using planning target volume (PTV) margins. Geometrical uncertainties are typically ...
MRI texture feature repeatability and image acquisition factor robustness, a phantom study and in silico study.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-19)
PURPOSE: To evaluate robustness and repeatability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture features in water and tissue phantom test-retest study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Separate water and tissue phantoms were imaged ...
Effect of COVID-19 on colorectal cancer care in England.
