Mapping the breast cancer metastatic cascade onto ctDNA using genetic and epigenetic clonal tracking.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-03-27)
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) allows tracking of the evolution of human cancers at high resolution, overcoming many limitations of tissue biopsies. However, exploiting ctDNA to determine how a patient's cancer is evolving ...
Immune reconstitution in children following chemotherapy for acute leukemia.
(WILEY, 2020-07-01)
Although survival rates for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia are now excellent, this is at the expense of prolonged chemotherapy regimens. We report the long-term immune effects in children treated according to the ...
Recurrent MET fusion genes represent a drug target in pediatric glioblastoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-11-01)
Pediatric glioblastoma is one of the most common and most deadly brain tumors in childhood. Using an integrative genetic analysis of 53 pediatric glioblastomas and five in vitro model systems, we identified previously ...
Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-05-01)
IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding ...
Public resources for chemical probes: the journey so far and the road ahead.
(Informa UK Limited, 2019-11-28)
High-quality small molecule chemical probes are extremely valuable for biological research and target validation. However, frequent use of flawed small-molecule inhibitors produces misleading results and diminishes the ...
Patient-Reported Outcomes Over 5 Years After Whole- or Partial-Breast Radiotherapy: Longitudinal Analysis of the IMPORT LOW (CRUK/06/003) Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2019-02-01)
PURPOSE: IMPORT LOW demonstrated noninferiority of partial-breast and reduced-dose radiotherapy versus whole-breast radiotherapy for local relapse and similar or reduced toxicity at 5 years. Comprehensive patient-reported ...
Survivors at risk: Hodgkin lymphoma survivors at high risk of second cancers.
(Informa UK Limited, 2017-06-01)
Amit Sud speaks to Sebastian Dennis-Beron, Commissioning Editor: Amit Sud is a clinical research fellow in Hematology at the Institute of Cancer Research, UK. He undertook his undergraduate medical training at the University ...
Sequencing of prostate cancers identifies new cancer genes, routes of progression and drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)
Prostate cancer represents a substantial clinical challenge because it is difficult to predict outcome and advanced disease is often fatal. We sequenced the whole genomes of 112 primary and metastatic prostate cancer ...
Age- and Tumor Subtype-Specific Breast Cancer Risk Estimates for CHEK2*1100delC Carriers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2016-08-10)
PURPOSE: CHEK2*1100delC is a well-established breast cancer risk variant that is most prevalent in European populations; however, there are limited data on risk of breast cancer by age and tumor subtype, which limits its ...
Mendelian randomisation study of height and body mass index as modifiers of ovarian cancer risk in 22,588 BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-07-16)
BACKGROUND: Height and body mass index (BMI) are associated with higher ovarian cancer risk in the general population, but whether such associations exist among BRCA1/2 mutation carriers is unknown. METHODS: We applied a ...
