Development of a Ki-67-based clinical trial assay for neoadjuvant endocrine therapy response monitoring in breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2017-09-01)
PURPOSE: The recent publication of the ACOSOG Z1031 trial results demonstrated that Ki-67 proliferation marker-based neoadjuvant endocrine therapy response monitoring could be used for tailoring the use of adjuvant ...
Assessing the effect of obesity-related traits on multiple myeloma using a Mendelian randomisation approach.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-16)
Risks of Breast, Ovarian, and Contralateral Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-06-20)
IMPORTANCE: The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers requires accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. OBJECTIVES: To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer ...
Randomized controlled trial of dietary fiber for the prevention of radiation-induced gastrointestinal toxicity during pelvic radiotherapy.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-09-01)
Background: Therapeutic radiotherapy is an important treatment of pelvic cancers. Historically, low-fiber diets have been recommended despite a lack of evidence and potentially beneficial mechanisms of fiber.Objective: ...
SOX11 promotes invasive growth and ductal carcinoma in situ progression.
(WILEY, 2017-10-01)
Here, we show that SOX11, an embryonic mammary marker that is normally silent in postnatal breast cells, is expressed in many oestrogen receptor-negative preinvasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) lesions. Mature mammary ...
Gene expression modules in primary breast cancers as risk factors for organotropic patterns of first metastatic spread: a case control study.
(BMC, 2017-10-13)
BACKGROUND: Metastases from primary breast cancers can involve single or multiple organs at metastatic disease diagnosis. Molecular risk factors for particular patterns of metastastic spread in a clinical population are ...
Post-Traumatic Growth and Resilience in Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Patients: An Overview.
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2018-02-01)
The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the literature on post-traumatic growth (PTG) and resilience among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. A literature search in Embase, PsychInfo, PubMed, Web ...
RAZOR: A Phase II Open Randomized Trial of Screening Plus Goserelin and Raloxifene Versus Screening Alone in Premenopausal Women at Increased Risk of Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-01-01)
Background: Ovarian suppression in premenopausal women is known to reduce breast cancer risk. This study aimed to assess uptake and compliance with ovarian suppression using the luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) ...
Gene-environment interactions involving functional variants: Results from the Breast Cancer Association Consortium.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)
Investigating the most likely causal variants identified by fine-mapping analyses may improve the power to detect gene-environment interactions. We assessed the interplay between 70 single nucleotide polymorphisms identified ...
Functionally Null RAD51D Missense Mutation Associates Strongly with Ovarian Carcinoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-15)
RAD51D is a key player in DNA repair by homologous recombination (HR), and RAD51D truncating variant carriers have an increased risk for ovarian cancer. However, the contribution of nontruncating RAD51D variants to cancer ...
