PPM1D mutations are oncogenic drivers of de novo diffuse midline glioma formation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-01)
The role of PPM1D mutations in de novo gliomagenesis has not been systematically explored. Here we analyze whole genome sequences of 170 pediatric high-grade gliomas and find that truncating mutations in PPM1D that increase ...

(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Recurrence is common after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We investigated the effect of adding nintedanib to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on response and survival ...
H3K9 methylation drives resistance to androgen receptor-antagonist therapy in prostate cancer.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2022-05-24)
Antiandrogen strategies remain the prostate cancer treatment backbone, but drug resistance develops. We show that androgen blockade in prostate cancer leads to derepression of retroelements (REs) followed by a double-stranded ...
Management of Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer: Report from the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference 2021.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Innovations in treatments, imaging, and molecular characterisation in advanced prostate cancer have improved outcomes, but various areas of management still lack high-level evidence to inform clinical practice. ...
Randomised single centre double-blind placebo controlled phase II trial of Tocovid SupraBio in combination with pentoxifylline in patients suffering long-term gastrointestinal adverse effects of radiotherapy for pelvic cancer: The PPALM study.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Preclinical data suggest that combined gamma-tocotrienol with pentoxifylline ameliorates radiotherapy-induced gastrointestinal damage. AIM: To test whether gastrointestinal symptoms arising after radiotherapy, ...
Humor in radiological breast cancer screening: a way of improving patient service?
(BMC, 2022-10-08)
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer screening is essential in detecting breast tumors, however, the examination is stressful. In this study we analyzed whether humor enhances patient satisfaction. METHODS: In this prospective ...
The reproductive ecology drivers of egg attendance in amphibians.
(WILEY, 2022-10-01)
Parental care is extremely diverse but, despite much research, why parental care evolves is poorly understood. Here we address this outstanding question using egg attendance, the simplest and most common care form in many ...
Effect of Metformin vs Placebo on Invasive Disease-Free Survival in Patients With Breast Cancer: The MA.32 Randomized Clinical Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-05-24)
IMPORTANCE: Metformin, a biguanide commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, has been associated with potential beneficial effects across breast cancer subtypes in observational and preclinical studies. OBJECTIVE: To determine ...
Pooled Analysis of Meningioma Risk Following Treatment for Childhood Cancer.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-12-01)
IMPORTANCE: Meningioma is the most common subsequent neoplasm following cranial irradiation among survivors of childhood cancer, but there are still uncertainties regarding the magnitude of the radiation dose-response ...
