In Vivo Validation of Elekta's Clarity Autoscan for Ultrasound-based Intrafraction Motion Estimation of the Prostate During Radiation Therapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-11-15)
PURPOSE: Our purpose was to perform an in vivo validation of ultrasound imaging for intrafraction motion estimation using the Elekta Clarity Autoscan system during prostate radiation therapy. The study was conducted as ...
Validation of the Vectra XT three-dimensional imaging system for measuring breast volume and symmetry following oncological reconstruction.
(SPRINGER, 2018-09-01)
PURPOSE: Three-dimensional surface imaging (3D-SI) of the breasts enables the measurement of breast volume and shape symmetry. If these measurements were sufficiently accurate and repeatable, they could be used in planning ...
Adjuvant Therapy for Stage IB Germ Cell Tumors: One versus Two Cycles of BEP.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2018-01-01)
Testicular germ cell tumours are the commonest tumours of young men and are broadly managed either as pure seminomas or as 'nonseminomas'. The management of Stage 1 nonseminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCTs), beyond surgical ...
An Investigation of Dosimetric Correlates of Acute Toxicity in Prostate Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: Dose to Urinary Trigone is Associated with Acute Urinary Toxicity.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-09-01)
AIMS: There are limited data on dosimetric correlates of toxicity in stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer. We aimed to identify potential relationships between dose and toxicity using conventional ...
CheckMate 141: 1-Year Update and Subgroup Analysis of Nivolumab as First-Line Therapy in Patients with Recurrent/Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer.
(WILEY, 2018-09-01)
Nivolumab significantly improved overall survival (OS) vs investigator's choice (IC) of chemotherapy at the primary analysis of randomized, open-label, phase 3 CheckMate 141 in patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) ...
DNA Copy Number Aberrations, and Human Papillomavirus Status in Penile Carcinoma. Clinico-Pathological Correlations and Potential Driver Genes
(2016-01-01)
Penile squamous cell carcinoma is a rare disease, in which somatic genetic aberrations have yet to be characterized. We hypothesized that gene copy aberrations might correlate with human papillomavirus status and ...
Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) tyrosine 397E mutation restores the vascular leakage defect in endothelium‐specific FAK‐kinase dead mice
(Wiley, 2017-07-01)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Focal adhesion kinase (<jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">FAK</jats:styled-content>) inhibitors have been developed as potential anticancer agents and are undergoing clinical ...
Integrated multiomics approach identifies calcium and integrin-binding protein-2 as a novel gene for pulse wave velocity
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2016-01-01)
Background: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an important measure of arterial stiffness, which is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this study, we used an integrated genetic, ...
Carboplatin in BRCA1/2-mutated and triple-negative breast cancer BRCAness subgroups: the TNT Trial.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-04-30)
Germline mutations in BRCA1/2 predispose individuals to breast cancer (termed germline-mutated BRCA1/2 breast cancer, gBRCA-BC) by impairing homologous recombination (HR) and causing genomic instability. HR also repairs ...
Practice-changing radiation therapy trials for the treatment of cancer: where are we 150 years after the birth of Marie Curie?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-14)
As we mark 150 years since the birth of Marie Curie, we reflect on the global advances made in radiation oncology and the current status of radiation therapy (RT) research. Large-scale international RT clinical trials have ...
