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 ...
Racial and ethnic disparities in treatment-related heart disease mortality among US breast cancer survivors.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Racial and ethnic disparities in heart disease mortality by initial treatment type among breast cancer survivors have not been well described. METHODS: We included 739 557 women diagnosed with first primary ...
Quantitative histology analysis of the ovarian tumour microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2015-11-17)
Concerted efforts in genomic studies examining RNA transcription and DNA methylation patterns have revealed profound insights in prognostic ovarian cancer subtypes. On the other hand, abundant histology slides have been ...
A CT-based radiomics classification model for the prediction of histological type and tumour grade in retroperitoneal sarcoma (RADSARC-R): a retrospective multicohort analysis.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Retroperitoneal sarcomas are tumours with a poor prognosis. Upfront characterisation of the tumour is difficult, and under-grading is common. Radiomics has the potential to non-invasively characterise the ...
Implementing rapid, robust, cost-effective, patient-centred, routine genetic testing in ovarian cancer patients.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-07-13)
Advances in DNA sequencing have made genetic testing fast and affordable, but limitations of testing processes are impeding realisation of patient benefits. Ovarian cancer exemplifies the potential value of genetic testing ...
Bridging The Age Gap: observational cohort study of effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab on recurrence, survival and quality of life in older women with early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-07-20)
BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy improves outcomes for high risk early breast cancer (EBC) patients but is infrequently offered to older individuals. This study determined if there are fit older patients with high-risk disease who ...
The impact of restricted length of treatment field and anthropometric factors on selection of head and neck cancer patients for treatment on the MR-Linac.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the impact of a restricted craniocaudal (CC) field length of <20 cm on the selection of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who can be treated on the MR-Linac using a single isocentre ...
Results of a multicentre randomised controlled trial of cochlear-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus conventional radiotherapy in patients with parotid cancer (COSTAR; CRUK/08/004).
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
PURPOSE: About 40-60% of patients treated with post-operative radiotherapy for parotid cancer experience ipsilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can reduce radiation dose to the ...
Mortality and cancer incidence in carriers of constitutional t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocations: A prospective study.
(WILEY, 2019-09-15)
The constitutional t(11;22)(q23;q11) translocation is the only recurrent non-Robertsonian translocation known in humans. Carriers are phenotypically normal and are usually referred for cytogenetic testing because of multiple ...
Prolongation of overall treatment time as a cause of treatment failure in early breast cancer: An analysis of the UK START (Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy) trials of radiotherapy fractionation.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-08-29)
BACKGROUND: Tests of tumour treatment time effect in patients prescribed post-operative radiotherapy for early breast cancer have focussed on time to start of radiotherapy rather than overall treatment time. The START ...
