(BMC, 2023-11-03)
BACKGROUND: Ibrutinib, a first-in-class inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, is approved for the treatment of various B-cell malignancies and chronic graft-versus-host disease. Based on encouraging preclinical data, ...
Impact of germline DNA repair gene variants on prognosis and treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-06)
The clinical importance of germline variants in DNA repair genes (DRGs) is becoming increasingly recognized, but their impact on advanced prostate cancer prognosis remains unclear. A cohort of 221 newly diagnosed metastatic ...
Relative fat fraction of malignant bone lesions from breast cancer, prostate cancer and myeloma are significantly lower than normal bone marrow and shows excellent interobserver agreement.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2023-11-01)
OBJECTIVES: To compare relative fat fraction (rFF) of active bone lesions from breast, prostate and myeloma malignancies and normal bone marrow; to assess its inter-reader agreement. METHODS: Patients with breast (n = 26), ...
Deep Learning Framework with Multi-Head Dilated Encoders for Enhanced Segmentation of Cervical Cancer on Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(MDPI, 2023-11-03)
T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) are essential components of cervical cancer diagnosis. However, combining these channels for the training of deep learning models is challenging ...

(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-12-01)
The European Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom (BSS Directive) includes optimisation of treatment with radiotherapeutic procedures based on patient dosimetry and verification of the absorbed doses delivered. The present ...
Boosting and broadening recruitment to UK cancer trials: towards a blueprint for action
(BMJ, 2023-11-01)
<jats:p>Recruitment and retention in cancer trials are long-standing issues, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The UK National Institute of Health Research and leading clinicians have emphasised the urgency to achieve ...
Pembrolizumab versus methotrexate, docetaxel, or cetuximab in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (KEYNOTE-040): Subgroup analysis by pattern of disease recurrence.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-12-01)
BACKGROUND: In the phase 3 KEYNOTE-040 study, pembrolizumab prolonged OS versus chemotherapy in previously treated recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HNSCC. We present a post hoc subgroup analysis by disease recurrence pattern: ...
Early switch to oral antibiotic therapy in patients with low-risk neutropenic sepsis (EASI-SWITCH): a randomized non-inferiority trial.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-07-28)
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether early switch to oral antibiotic treatment in adults with neutropenic sepsis at low risk of complications is non-inferior to switching later. METHODS: This non-inferiority, parallel-group, ...
Vitamin B5 supports MYC oncogenic metabolism and tumor progression in breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-01)
Tumors are intrinsically heterogeneous and it is well established that this directs their evolution, hinders their classification and frustrates therapy1-3. Consequently, spatially resolved omics-level analyses are gaining ...
Inhibition of exosome biogenesis affects cell motility in heterogeneous sub-populations of paediatric-type diffuse high-grade gliomas.
(BMC, 2023-11-13)
BACKGROUND: Paediatric-type diffuse High-Grade Gliomas (PDHGG) are highly heterogeneous tumours which include distinct cell sub-populations co-existing within the same tumour mass. We have previously shown that primary ...
