seXY: a tool for sex inference from genotype arrays.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-02-15)
MOTIVATION: Checking concordance between reported sex and genotype-inferred sex is a crucial quality control measure in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, limited insights exist regarding the true accuracy ...
Circulating biomarkers of neuroendocrine prostate cancer: an unmet challenge.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2017-01-01)
DNA Repair in Prostate Cancer: Biology and Clinical Implications.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2017-03-01)
CONTEXT: For more precise, personalized care in prostate cancer (PC), a new classification based on molecular features relevant for prognostication and treatment stratification is needed. Genomic aberrations in the DNA ...
Identification of clinically predictive metagenes that encode components of a network coupling cell shape to transcription by image-omics.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2017-02-01)
The associations between clinical phenotypes (tumor grade, survival) and cell phenotypes, such as shape, signaling activity, and gene expression, are the basis for cancer pathology, but the mechanisms explaining these ...
Noncoding RNAs as novel biomarkers in pancreatic cancer: what do we know?
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2017-02-01)
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer of the digestive system, which is becoming a serious health problem worldwide. Overall survival for patients with pancreatic cancer is poor, mainly due to a lack of biomarkers to ...
Real-time auto-adaptive margin generation for MLC-tracked radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2017-01-07)
In radiotherapy, abdominal and thoracic sites are candidates for performing motion tracking. With real-time control it is possible to adjust the multileaf collimator (MLC) position to the target position. However, positions ...
Efficacy and toxicity of rechallenge with combination immune checkpoint blockade in metastatic melanoma: a case series.
(SPRINGER, 2017-01-01)
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and potential toxicity of rechallenge with combination ipilimumab and nivolumab has not been described. Retreatment of patients with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the setting of prior significant ...
Combining Molecularly Targeted Agents: Is More Always Better?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-03-01)
The concurrent targeting of critical nodes along key signaling pathways with molecularly targeted agents is a rational antitumor strategy, which has had varying degrees of success. Combinatorial challenges include overcoming ...
Maximising the potential of AKT inhibitors as anti-cancer treatments.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2017-04-01)
PI3K/AKT signalling is commonly disrupted in human cancers, with AKT being a central component of the pathway, influencing multiple processes that are directly involved in tumourigenesis. Targeting AKT is therefore a highly ...
A comprehensive map of molecular drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)
The success of mechanism-based drug discovery depends on the definition of the drug target. This definition becomes even more important as we try to link drug response to genetic variation, understand stratified clinical ...
