Nivolumab Combination Therapy in Advanced Esophageal Squamous-Cell Carcinoma.
<h4>Background</h4>First-line chemotherapy for advanced esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma results in poor outcomes. The monoclonal antibody nivolumab has shown an overall survival benefit over chemotherapy in previously ...
Aspirin in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 (RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trial.
<h4>Background</h4>Aspirin has been proposed as a treatment for COVID-19 on the basis of its anti-thrombotic properties. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin in patients admitted to hospital with ...
Abiraterone in "High-" and "Low-risk" Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Abiraterone acetate received licencing for use in only "high-risk" metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) following the LATITUDE trial findings. However, a "risk"-related effect was not seen in the ...
Addition of four doses of rituximab to standard induction chemotherapy in adult patients with precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (UKALL14): a phase 3, multicentre, randomised controlled trial.
<h4>Background</h4>Treatment for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia requires improvement. UKALL14 was a UK National Cancer Research Institute Adult ALL group study that aimed to determine the benefit of adding the ...
A comparison of the diagnostic value of MRI and 18 F-FDG-PET/CT in suspected spondylodiscitis.
(2017-02)
Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing ...
Sequencing of prostate cancers identifies new cancer genes, routes of progression and drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)
Prostate cancer represents a substantial clinical challenge because it is difficult to predict outcome and advanced disease is often fatal. We sequenced the whole genomes of 112 primary and metastatic prostate cancer ...
Real-world outcomes in patients with advanced endometrial cancer: A retrospective cohort study of US electronic health records.
<h4>Objectives</h4>To characterize clinical outcomes of women with advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer (AEC) in routine practice using electronic health records from a real-world database.<h4>Methods</h4>Adult women ...
Increasing frequency of gene copy number aberrations is associated with immunosuppression and predicts poor prognosis in gastric adenocarcinoma.
<h4>Background</h4>Patients with Epstein-Barr virus-positive gastric cancers or those with microsatellite instability appear to have a favourable prognosis. However, the prognostic value of the chromosomal status ...
Venetoclax induces rapid elimination of NPM1 mutant measurable residual disease in combination with low-intensity chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukaemia.
Based on promising results in older adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), we treated patients with NPM1<sup>mut</sup> measurable residual disease (MRD) using off-label venetoclax in combination with low-dose cytarabine ...
