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 ...
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-04-01)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ∼9% of the familial risk of the disease. We ...
Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Analysis of Lung, Ovary, Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancer Reveals Novel Pleiotropic Associations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
Identifying genetic variants with pleiotropic associations can uncover common pathways influencing multiple cancers. We took a two-stage approach to conduct genome-wide association studies for lung, ovary, breast, prostate, ...
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 ...
The epidermal growth factor receptor/Erb-B/HER family in normal and malignant breast biology.
(UPV/EHU Press, 2011-01-01)
The EGFR/Erb-B receptor tyrosine kinases each play distinct and complementary roles in normal breast development. The four receptors form both homodimers and heterodimers in response to binding by ligands which show ...
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of colorectal cancer in Denmark.
<h4>Introduction</h4>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact on cancer care but the extent to which this has affected the management of colorectal cancer (CRC) in different countries is unknown. CRC management in ...
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 ...
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 ...
Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-05-01)
IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding ...
