Ripretinib in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors: an overview of current evidence and drug approval.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2022-07-26)
Over the past 20 years, the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors has acted as an important model in the advancement of molecularly targeted therapies for solid tumors. The success of imatinib has established it ...
Relationship Between Baseline Rectal Tumor Length and Magnetic Resonance Tumor Regression Grade Response to Chemoradiotherapy: A Subanalysis of the TRIGGER Feasibility Study.
(SPRINGER, 2022-06-30)
BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that small rectal tumors are more likely to have a good response to neoadjuvant treatment, which may influence the selection of patients for a 'watch and wait' strategy. OBJECTIVE: The aim ...
Structural basis for the inactivation of cytosolic DNA sensing by the vaccinia virus.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-11-18)
Detection of cytosolic DNA is a central element of the innate immunity system against viral infection. The Ku heterodimer, a component of the NHEJ pathway of DNA repair in the nucleus, functions as DNA sensor that detects ...
Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cancer: a joint analysis of OnCovid and ESMO-CoCARE registries.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-11-01)
BACKGROUND: As management and prevention strategies against COVID-19 evolve, it is still uncertain whether prior exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) affects COVID-19 severity in patients with cancer. METHODS: ...
Association Study between Polymorphisms in DNA Methylation-Related Genes and Testicular Germ Cell Tumor Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-09-02)
BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT), histologically classified as seminomas and nonseminomas, are believed to arise from primordial gonocytes, with the maturation process blocked when they are subjected to DNA ...
Transportability of Overall Survival Estimates From US to Canadian Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer With Implications for Regulatory and Health Technology Assessment.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2022-11-01)
IMPORTANCE: The external validity of survival outcomes derived from clinical practice data from US patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not known and is of potential importance because it may be ...
Latest Advances in the Use of Therapeutic Focused Ultrasound in the Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer.
(MDPI, 2022-01-27)
Traditional oncological interventions have failed to improve survival for pancreatic cancer patients significantly. Novel treatment modalities able to release cancer-specific antigens, render immunologically "cold" pancreatic ...
Discovery and Characterization of a Cryptic Secondary Binding Site in the Molecular Chaperone HSP70.
(MDPI, 2022-01-26)
Heat Shock Protein 70s (HSP70s) are key molecular chaperones that are overexpressed in many cancers and often associated with metastasis and poor prognosis. It has proven difficult to develop ATP-competitive, drug-like ...
Identification of a prognostic signature in colorectal cancer using combinatorial algorithm-driven analysis.
(WILEY, 2022-05-01)
Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most common types of malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related death. Although clinicopathological parameters provide invaluable prognostic information, the accuracy of prognosis ...
