Interobserver agreement of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging is superior to whole-body computed tomography for assessing disease burden in patients with multiple myeloma.
(SPRINGER, 2020-01-01)
OBJECTIVES: Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) is recommended by the International Myeloma Working Group for all patients with asymptomatic myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma and by the UK NICE guidance for all patients with suspected ...
ALPK1 hotspot mutation as a driver of human spiradenoma and spiradenocarcinoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-17)
Spiradenoma and cylindroma are distinctive skin adnexal tumors with sweat gland differentiation and potential for malignant transformation and aggressive behaviour. We present the genomic analysis of 75 samples from 57 ...
Evaluation of Cancer-Based Criteria for Use in Mainstream BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Testing in Patients With Breast Cancer.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2019-05-03)
IMPORTANCE: Increasing BRCA1 and BRCA2 (collectively termed herein as BRCA) gene testing is required to improve cancer management and prevent BRCA-related cancers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mainstream genetic testing using ...
MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) for treating recurrent gynaecological tumours: a pilot feasibility study.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-05-16)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of targeting recurrent gynaecological tumours with MR guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU). METHODS: 20 patients with recurrent gynaecological tumours were prospectively ...
A novel amplitude binning strategy to handle irregular breathing during 4DMRI acquisition: improved imaging for radiotherapy purposes.
(BMC, 2019-05-14)
BACKGROUND: For radiotherapy of abdominal cancer, four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4DMRI) is desirable for tumor definition and the assessment of tumor and organ motion. However, irregular breathing gives rise ...
Two first-in-human studies of xentuzumab, a humanised insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-neutralising antibody, in patients with advanced solid tumours.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-04-28)
BACKGROUND: Xentuzumab, an insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1/IGF-2-neutralising antibody, binds IGF-1 and IGF-2, inhibiting their growth-promoting signalling. Two first-in-human trials assessed the maximum-tolerated/relevant ...
Visualizing the autonomic and somatic innervation of the female pelvis with 3D MR neurography: a feasibility study.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment of female pelvic malignancies often causes pelvic nerve damage. Magnetic resonance (MR) neurography mapping the female pelvic innervation could aid in treatment planning. PURPOSE: To depict female ...
Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency and PARP inhibition activity in primary triple negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-05-29)
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) encompasses molecularly different subgroups, with a subgroup harboring evidence of defective homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair. Here, within a phase 2 window clinical trial, RIO ...
A case-only study to identify genetic modifiers of breast cancer risk for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-02-17)
Breast cancer (BC) risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers varies by genetic and familial factors. About 50 common variants have been shown to modify BC risk for mutation carriers. All but three, were identified in ...
General anaesthetic and airway management practice for obstetric surgery in England: a prospective, multicentre observational study.
(WILEY, 2020-09-21)
There are no current descriptions of general anaesthesia characteristics for obstetric surgery, despite recent changes to patient baseline characteristics and airway management guidelines. This analysis of data from the ...
