BACKGROUND: Pre-clinical evidence suggests reduced efficacy of anticancer treatment in patients exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics. It is hypothesised that this phenomenon may be explained by the effects of antibiotics ...
Transplantation of discarded livers following viability testing with normothermic machine perfusion.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-06-16)
There is a limited access to liver transplantation, however, many organs are discarded based on subjective assessment only. Here we report the VITTAL clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT02740608) outcomes, using ...
Noninvasive MRI Native T1 Mapping Detects Response to MYCN-targeted Therapies in the Th-MYCN Model of Neuroblastoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-08-15)
Noninvasive early indicators of treatment response are crucial to the successful delivery of precision medicine in children with cancer. Neuroblastoma is a common solid tumor of young children that arises from anomalies ...
Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma of the Ovary and Fallopian Tube: Rare Neoplasms Associated With Germline and Somatic DICER1 Mutations.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-01)
DICER1 mutations (somatic or germline) are associated with a variety of uncommon neoplasms including cervical and genitourinary embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). We report a primary ovarian and 2 primary fallopian tube ...
The Intensity-Modulated Pelvic Node and Bladder Radiotherapy (IMPART) Trial: A Phase II Single-Centre Prospective Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-02-01)
AIMS: Node-positive bladder cancer (NPBC) carries a poor prognosis and has traditionally been treated palliatively. However, surgical series suggest that a subset of NPBC patients can achieve long-term control after ...
Five-year review of corticosteroid duration and complications in the management of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related diarrhoea and colitis in advanced melanoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Immune-related diarrhoea/colitis (ir-D/C) is a common adverse event of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy. Guidelines recommend corticosteroid (CS) treatment; however, the average treatment duration for ...
Olaparib and temozolomide in desmoplastic small round cell tumors: a promising combination in vitro and in vivo.
(SPRINGER, 2020-07-01)
PURPOSE: Desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCTs) are highly malignant and very rare soft tissue sarcomas with a high unmet need for new therapeutic options. Therefore, we examined poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) ...

(WILEY, 2020-06-01)
Gender disparities in scientific publications have been identified in oncological research. Oral research presentations at major conferences enhance visibility of presenters. The share of women presenting at such podia is ...
A randomised Phase II trial of carboplatin and gemcitabine ± vandetanib in first-line treatment of patients with advanced urothelial cell cancer not suitable to receive cisplatin.
(WILEY, 2020-05-19)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of the dual epidermal growth factor receptor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, vandetanib, in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine in the ...
ARID1A influences HDAC1/BRD4 activity, intrinsic proliferative capacity and breast cancer treatment response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)
Using genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) screens to understand endocrine drug resistance, we discovered ARID1A and other SWI/SNF complex components as the factors most critically ...
