Prognostic gene expression signature for high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Median overall survival (OS) for women with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is ∼4 years, yet survival varies widely between patients. There are no well-established, gene expression signatures associated ...
Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency and PARP inhibition activity in primary triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-05-29)
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) encompasses molecularly different subgroups, with a subgroup harboring evidence of defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Here, within a phase 2 window clinical trial, RIO ...
Cryo-EM structures of the XPF-ERCC1 endonuclease reveal how DNA-junction engagement disrupts an auto-inhibited conformation.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-28)
The structure-specific endonuclease XPF-ERCC1 participates in multiple DNA damage repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair (NER) and inter-strand crosslink repair (ICLR). How XPF-ERCC1 is catalytically activated ...
Tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors in the management of sarcomas.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-05)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genetic aberrations resulting in tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion proteins can drive oncogenesis and are postulated to occur in up to 1% of solid tumours. However, TRK fusions in adult sarcomas ...
Response Criteria for Intratumoral Immunotherapy in Solid Tumors: itRECIST.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-08-10)
Subclonal reconstruction of tumors by using machine learning and population genetics.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-09-01)
Most cancer genomic data are generated from bulk samples composed of mixtures of cancer subpopulations, as well as normal cells. Subclonal reconstruction methods based on machine learning aim to separate those subpopulations ...
Evolutionary dynamics of neoantigens in growing tumors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-10-01)
Cancers accumulate mutations that lead to neoantigens, novel peptides that elicit an immune response, and consequently undergo evolutionary selection. Here we establish how negative selection shapes the clonality of ...
A risk-based approach to experimental early phase clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-07-01)
Evidence for a novel overlapping coding sequence in POLG initiated at a CUG start codon.
(BMC, 2020-03-06)
BACKGROUND: POLG, located on nuclear chromosome 15, encodes the DNA polymerase γ(Pol γ). Pol γ is responsible for the replication and repair of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Pol γ is the only DNA polymerase found in mitochondria ...
The management of desmoid tumours: A joint global consensus-based guideline approach for adult and paediatric patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-03-01)
Desmoid tumor (DT; other synonymously used terms: Desmoid-type fibromatosis, aggressive fibromatosis) is a rare and locally aggressive monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation characterised by a variable and often unpredictable ...
