Dissecting the predictive value of MAPK/AKT/estrogen-receptor phosphorylation axis in primary breast cancer to treatment response for tamoxifen over exemestane: a Translational Report of the Intergroup Exemestane Study (IES)-PathIES.
(SPRINGER, 2019-05-01)
PURPOSE: The prognostic and predictive values of the MAPK/AKT/ERα phosphorylation axis (pT202/T204MAPK, pT308AKT, pS473AKT, pS118ERα and pS167ERα) in primary tumours were assessed to determine whether these markers can ...
Aspirin, NSAIDs, and Glioma Risk: Original Data from the Glioma International Case-Control Study and a Meta-analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-03-01)
BACKGROUND: There have been few studies of sufficient size to address the relationship between glioma risk and the use of aspirin or NSAIDs, and results have been conflicting. The purpose of this study was to examine the ...
Beam selection for stereotactic ablative radiotherapy using Cyberknife with multileaf collimation.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-12-20)
The Cyberknife system (Accuray Inc., Sunnyvale, CA) enables radiotherapy using stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) with a large number of non-coplanar beam orientations. Recently, a multileaf collimator has also ...
Targeting Hypoxia to Improve Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Outcome.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-01-01)
Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important factor in treatment resistance and poor survival. Hypoxia is an attractive therapeutic target, particularly in the context of radiotherapy, ...
Oxygen Enhanced Optoacoustic Tomography (OE-OT) Reveals Vascular Dynamics in Murine Models of Prostate Cancer.
(IVYSPRING INT PUBL, 2017-01-01)
Poor oxygenation of solid tumours has been linked with resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy and poor patient outcomes, hence non-invasive imaging of oxygen supply and demand in tumours could improve disease staging and ...
Cancer heterogeneity and imaging.
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-04-01)
There is interest in identifying and quantifying tumor heterogeneity at the genomic, tissue pathology and clinical imaging scales, as this may help better understand tumor biology and may yield useful biomarkers for guiding ...
Data-driven mapping of hypoxia-related tumor heterogeneity using DCE-MRI and OE-MRI.
(WILEY, 2018-04-01)
PURPOSE: Previous work has shown that combining dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI and oxygen-enhanced (OE)-MRI binary enhancement maps can identify tumor hypoxia. The current work proposes a novel, data-driven method for ...
Evaluation of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI biomarkers for stratified cancer medicine: How do permeability and perfusion vary between human tumours?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Solid tumours exhibit enhanced vessel permeability and fenestrated endothelium to varying degree, but it is unknown how this varies in patients between and within tumour types. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) ...
Detecting gas-induced vasomotor changes via blood oxygenation level-dependent contrast in healthy breast parenchyma and breast carcinoma.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-08-01)
PURPOSE: To evaluate blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast changes in healthy breast parenchyma and breast carcinoma during administration of vasoactive gas stimuli. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Magnetic resonance ...
Rethinking the role of clinical imaging.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2017-09-06)
Radiomics has the potential to improve the management of cancer patients, but further research is required before it can be adopted into routine clinical practice.
