Smoking and risk of breast cancer in the Generations Study cohort.
(BMC, 2017-11-22)
BACKGROUND: Plausible biological reasons exist regarding why smoking could affect breast cancer risk, but epidemiological evidence is inconsistent. METHODS: We used serial questionnaire information from the Generations ...
Can routine data be used to support cancer clinical trials? A historical baseline on which to build: retrospective linkage of data from the TACT (CRUK 01/001) breast cancer trial and the National Cancer Data Repository.
(BMC, 2017-11-23)
BACKGROUND: Randomised clinical trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for evaluating new cancer treatments. They are, however, expensive to conduct, particularly where long-term follow-up of participants is required. Tracking ...
Intrinsic subtypes and benefit from postmastectomy radiotherapy in node-positive premenopausal breast cancer patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy - results from two independent randomized trials.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018-01-01)
BACKGROUND: The study of the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer has revealed differences among them in terms of prognosis and response to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. However, the ability of intrinsic ...
Pre-operative Radiotherapy And Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery Perforator (DIEP) flAp study (PRADA): Aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction at one year.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-03-01)
INTRODUCTION: The optimal combination of radiotherapy and breast reconstruction has not yet been defined. Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has deleterious effects on breast reconstruction, leading to caution amongst ...
Age, Period and Cohort Analysis of Smoking Prevalence in Iranian Population over a 25-Year Period.
(ACAD MEDICAL SCIENCES I R IRAN, 2021-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Current and daily smoking prevalence rates have been have investigated in several cross-sectional studies. However, analyses in terms of age-period-cohort (APC) have not been carried out. We assessed daily ...
Risk of second primary cancer among women in the Kaiser Permanente Breast Cancer Survivors Cohort.
(BMC, 2023-05-03)
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer survivors are living longer due to early detection and advances in treatment and are at increased risk for second primary cancers. Comprehensive evaluation of second cancer risk among patients ...
CD4+ T cell and M2 macrophage infiltration predict dedifferentiated liposarcoma patient outcomes.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcoma subtypes and is devastating in the advanced/metastatic stage. Despite the observation of clinical responses to PD-1 inhibitors, ...
A network analysis to identify mediators of germline-driven differences in breast cancer prognosis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-16)
Identifying the underlying genetic drivers of the heritability of breast cancer prognosis remains elusive. We adapt a network-based approach to handle underpowered complex datasets to provide new insights into the potential ...
Antigen retrieval and clearing for whole-organ immunofluorescence by FLASH.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-11-27)
Advances in light-sheet and confocal microscopy now allow imaging of cleared large biological tissue samples and enable the 3D appreciation of cell and protein localization in their native organ environment. However, the ...
The biology and treatment of leiomyosarcomas.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-04-01)
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma of smooth muscle origin that can arise in multiple anatomical sites and is broadly classified as extra-uterine LMS or uterine LMS. There is substantial interpatient heterogeneity ...
