Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) Signaling in GIST and Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
(MDPI, 2021-06-17)
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies originating from mesenchymal tissues with limited therapeutic options. Recently, alterations in components of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling ...
Pharmacotherapy for liposarcoma: current and emerging synthetic treatments.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2021-04-21)
Liposarcomas are rare tumors arising from adipocytic tissue and accounting for approximately 15-20% of all soft tissue sarcomas. Liposarcoma can be further classified into histopathological subtypes with variable ...
Targeting the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor (FGFR) Family in Lung Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-05-10)
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Genetic alterations, such as amplifications, mutations and translocations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family have been found in ...
A mouse SWATH-mass spectrometry reference spectral library enables deconvolution of species-specific proteomic alterations in human tumour xenografts.
(COMPANY BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2020-06-03)
SWATH-mass spectrometry (MS) enables accurate and reproducible proteomic profiling in multiple model organisms including the mouse. Here, we present a comprehensive mouse reference spectral library (MouseRefSWATH) that ...
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 ...
Tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors in the management of sarcomas.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-05)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genetic aberrations resulting in tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion proteins can drive oncogenesis and are postulated to occur in up to 1% of solid tumours. However, TRK fusions in adult sarcomas ...
Targeting the Src Pathway Enhances the Efficacy of Selective FGFR Inhibitors in Urothelial Cancers with FGFR3 Alterations.
(MDPI, 2020-05-01)
Selective FGFR inhibitors such as infigratinib (BGJ398) and erdafitinib (JNJ-42756493) have been evaluated in clinical trials for cancers with FGFR3 molecular alterations, particularly in urothelial carcinoma patients. ...
Future Directions in the Treatment of Osteosarcoma.
(MDPI, 2021-01-15)
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary bone sarcoma and is often diagnosed in the 2nd-3rd decades of life. Response to the aggressive and highly toxic neoadjuvant methotrexate-doxorubicin-cisplatin (MAP) chemotherapy ...
Tackling Drug Resistance in EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutant Lung Cancer.
(DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD, 2021-03-08)
Insertion mutations in exon 20 (Ex20ins) of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are the largest class of EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for which there are currently no approved targeted ...
Predictive and prognostic transcriptomic biomarkers in soft tissue sarcomas.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-05)
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous tumours comprising over 80 different histological subtypes. Treatment options remain limited in advanced STS with high rates of recurrence following resection of localised ...
