Targeting therapeutic vulnerabilities associated with EWS fusion proteins in Ewing sarcoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Ewing sarcoma (ES) is a are and aggressive bone tumour affecting children and young adults and that requires better therapeutic options to improve patient outcomes. ES is characterised by chromosomal rearrangements producing ...
EANM dosimetry committee series on standard operational procedures: a unified methodology for 99mTc-MAA pre- and 90Y peri-therapy dosimetry in liver radioembolization with 90Y microspheres.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-12)
The aim of this standard operational procedure is to standardize the methodology employed for the evaluation of pre- and post-treatment absorbed dose calculations in 90Y microsphere liver radioembolization. Basic assumptions ...
Circulating tumour DNA sequencing to determine therapeutic response and identify tumour heterogeneity in patients with paediatric solid tumours.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-12-18)
OBJECTIVE: Clinical diagnostic sequencing of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is well advanced for adult patients, but application to paediatric cancer patients lags behind. METHODS: To address this, we have developed a ...
DCE-MRI is more sensitive than IVIM-DWI for assessing anti-angiogenic treatment-induced changes in colorectal liver metastases.
(BMC, 2021-12-19)
BACKGROUND: Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) modelling can inform on tissue perfusion without exogenous contrast administration. Dynamic-contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI can also ...
Genomic Abnormalities as Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets in Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
(MDPI, 2021-10-09)
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of myeloid stem and progenitor cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and other tissues. AML results from the ...
Modulation of pancreatic cancer cell sensitivity to FOLFIRINOX through microRNA-mediated regulation of DNA damage.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-18)
FOLFIRINOX, a combination of chemotherapy drugs (Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan -FOI), provides the best clinical benefit in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. In this study we explore the role of ...
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patterns of attendance at emergency departments in two large London hospitals: an observational study.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-09-23)
BACKGROUND: Hospitals in England have undergone considerable change to address the surge in demand imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this on emergency department (ED) attendances is unknown, especially for ...
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor and Radiotherapy-Related Pneumonitis: An Informatics Approach to Determine Real-World Incidence, Severity, Management, and Resource Implications.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-11-01)
Pneumonitis is a well-described, potentially life-threatening adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and thoracic radiotherapy. It can require additional investigations, treatment, and interruption of cancer ...
ADP-ribosyltransferases, an update on function and nomenclature.
(WILEY, 2021-07-29)
ADP-ribosylation, a modification of proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites, confers broad functions, including roles in stress responses elicited, for example, by DNA damage and viral infection and is involved in intra- ...
Antiviral antibody responses to systemic administration of an oncolytic RNA virus: the impact of standard concomitant anticancer chemotherapies.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Oncolytic reovirus therapy for cancer induces a typical antiviral response to this RNA virus, including neutralizing antibodies. Concomitant treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapies has been hypothesized to ...
