Prognostic signatures in breast cancer: correlation does not imply causation
(2012-01-01)
Testing the statistical associations between microarray-based gene expression signatures and patient outcome has become a popular approach to infer biological and clinical significance of laboratory observations. Venet and ...
Identification of susceptibility pathways for the role of chromosome 15q25.1 in modifying lung cancer risk.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-08-13)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the chromosome 15q25.1 locus as a leading susceptibility region for lung cancer. However, the pathogenic pathways, through which susceptibility SNPs within chromosome 15q25.1 ...
Exploring causality in the association between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and colorectal cancer risk: a large Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-08-14)
BACKGROUND: Whilst observational studies establish that lower plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels are associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), establishing causality has proven challenging. Since ...
Poor treatment outcomes with palliative gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy in advanced and metastatic synovial sarcoma.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-08-20)
The outcome for patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma remains poor with few treatment options. Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma, predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults. Following ...
Ultrafast glutamate sensors resolve high-frequency release at Schaffer collateral synapses.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2018-05-22)
Glutamatergic synapses display a rich repertoire of plasticity mechanisms on many different time scales, involving dynamic changes in the efficacy of transmitter release as well as changes in the number and function of ...

The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) consensus conference on testicular cancer was held on 3-5 November 2016 in Paris, France. The conference included a multidisciplinary panel of 36 leading experts in the ...
Prognostic value of proliferation assay in the luminal, HER2-positive, and triple-negative biologic classes of breast cancer
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-02-01)
Introduction: Although the prognostic significance of proliferation in early invasive breast cancer has been recognized for a long time, recent gene-expression profiling studies have reemphasized its biologic and prognostic ...

Risk of Meningioma in European Patients Treated With Growth Hormone in Childhood: Results From the SAGhE Cohort.
(ENDOCRINE SOC, 2019-03-01)
CONTEXT: There has been concern that GH treatment of children might increase meningioma risk. Results of published studies have been inconsistent and limited. OBJECTIVE: To examine meningioma risks in relation to GH ...
Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for endometrial cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-09)
Endometrial cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the female reproductive tract in developed countries. Through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have previously identified eight risk loci for endometrial ...
