Leveraging Genome and Phenome-Wide Association Studies to Investigate Genetic Risk of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of childhood cancers remain limited, highlighting the need for novel analytic strategies. We describe a hybrid GWAS and phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach ...
The articles.ELM resource: simplifying access to protein linear motif literature by annotation, text-mining and classification.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2020-01-01)
Modern biology produces data at a staggering rate. Yet, much of these biological data is still isolated in the text, figures, tables and supplementary materials of articles. As a result, biological information created at ...
Avapritinib in the treatment of PDGFRA exon 18 mutated gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2020-08-01)
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) can be molecularly classified based on different subtypes including mutations in KIT and PDGFRA. Patients with PDGFRA mutations are an important subgroup that commonly arise in the ...
Genetic manipulation of LKB1 elicits lethal metastatic prostate cancer.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2020-06-01)
Gene dosage is a key defining factor to understand cancer pathogenesis and progression, which requires the development of experimental models that aid better deconstruction of the disease. Here, we model an aggressive form ...
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 ...
Genetic Alterations in the PI3K/AKT Pathway and Baseline AKT Activity Define AKT Inhibitor Sensitivity in Breast Cancer Patient-derived Xenografts.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-07-15)
PURPOSE: AZD5363/capivasertib is a pan-AKT catalytic inhibitor with promising activity in combination with paclitaxel in triple-negative metastatic breast cancer harboring PI3K/AKT-pathway alterations and in estrogen ...
Ten-Year Results of FAST: A Randomized Controlled Trial of 5-Fraction Whole-Breast Radiotherapy for Early Breast Cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-10-01)
PURPOSE: Previous studies of hypofractionated adjuvant whole-breast radiotherapy for early breast cancer established a 15- or 16-fraction (fr) regimen as standard. The FAST Trial (CRUKE/04/015) evaluated normal tissue ...
Alanine dosimetry in strong magnetic fields: use as a transfer standard in MRI-guided radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-06-03)
Reference dosimetry in the presence of a strong magnetic field is challenging. Ionisation chambers have shown to be strongly affected by magnetic fields. There is a need for robust and stable detectors in MRI-guided ...
Protocol for hypofractionated adaptive radiotherapy to the bladder within a multicentre phase II randomised trial: radiotherapy planning and delivery guidance.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-05-26)
INTRODUCTION: Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who are unfit and unsuitable for standard radical treatment with cystectomy or daily radiotherapy present a large unmet clinical need. Untreated, they suffer ...
Exploring the roles of urinary HAI-1, EpCAM & EGFR in bladder cancer prognosis & risk stratification.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2018-05-18)
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether elevated urinary HAI-1, EpCAM and EGFR are independent prognostic biomarkers within non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients, and have utility for risk stratification to ...
