Phase 1/2a trial of intravenous BAL101553, a novel controller of the spindle assembly checkpoint, in advanced solid tumours.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-08-03)
BACKGROUND: BAL101553 (lisavanbulin), the lysine prodrug of BAL27862 (avanbulin), exhibits broad anti-proliferative activity in human cancer models refractory to clinically relevant microtubule-targeting agents. METHODS: ...
The long-term prognostic and predictive capacity of cyclin D1 gene amplification in 2305 breast tumours.
(BMC, 2019-02-28)
BACKGROUND: Use of cyclin D1 (CCND1) gene amplification as a breast cancer biomarker has been hampered by conflicting assessments of the relationship between cyclin D1 protein levels and patient survival. Here, we aimed ...
Public preferences for delayed or immediate antibiotic prescriptions in UK primary care: A choice experiment.
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Delayed (or "backup") antibiotic prescription, where the patient is given a prescription but advised to delay initiating antibiotics, has been shown to be effective in reducing antibiotic use in primary care. ...
Preventative therapy for breast cancer: a clinical experience.
(SPRINGER, 2023-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Breast Cancer incidence in the UK is estimated to rise to 71,000 per year by 2035. Preventative strategies could significantly reduce this. Preventative therapy reduces women's risk of oestrogen receptor positive ...
Mapping Hypoxia in Renal Carcinoma with Oxygen-enhanced MRI: Comparison with Intrinsic Susceptibility MRI and Pathology.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA, 2018-09-01)
Purpose To cross-validate T1-weighted oxygen-enhanced (OE) MRI measurements of tumor hypoxia with intrinsic susceptibility MRI measurements and to demonstrate the feasibility of translation of the technique for patients. ...
Effect of delays in the 2-week-wait cancer referral pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer survival in the UK: a modelling study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 lockdown, referrals via the 2-week-wait urgent pathway for suspected cancer in England, UK, are reported to have decreased by up to 84%. We aimed to examine the impact of different scenarios ...
Collateral damage: the impact on outcomes from cancer surgery of the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of health care services to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Progression of cancers during delay will impact on patients' ...
The Influence of Antireflux Surgery on Esophageal Cancer Risk in England: National Population-based Cohort Study.
(2018-11)
Objective To evaluate how antireflux surgery influences the risk of esophageal cancer in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Barrett esophagus.Background GERD is a major risk factor for esophageal ...
Outcomes following front-line chemotherapy in peripheral T-cell lymphoma: 10-year experience at The Royal Marsden and The Christie Hospital.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018-07-03)
We evaluated the outcomes for patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) undergoing front-line chemotherapy at our institutions between 2002 and 2012. One hundred and fifty-six patients were eligible, comprising PTCL ...
A data-driven statistical model that estimates measurement uncertainty improves interpretation of ADC reproducibility: a multi-site study of liver metastases.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-10-26)
Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) is a potential quantitative imaging biomarker for tumour cell density and is widely used to detect early treatment changes in cancer therapy. We propose a strategy to improve confidence ...
