Health economic impact of liquid biopsies in cancer management.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018-11-02)
Liquid biopsies (LBs) are referred to as the sampling and analysis of non-solid tissue, primarily blood, as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for cancer. Because LBs are largely non-invasive, they are a less-costly alternative ...
Antitumour Activity and Safety of Enzalutamide in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated with Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone for ≥24 weeks in Europe.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, which target the androgen receptor axis, have expanded the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Retrospective analyses suggest some cross-resistance between ...
Circulating tumour cell increase as a biomarker of disease progression in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with low baseline CTC counts.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-07-01)
BACKGROUND: The development of treatment response and surrogate biomarkers for advanced prostate cancer care is an unmet clinical need. Patients with baseline circulating tumour cell (BLCTCs) counts <5/7.5 mL represent a ...
Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Protein Loss and Benefit From Oxaliplatin-based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2018-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Loss of ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), a key protein regulating DNA repair signaling, has been suggested to increase sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. We conducted a study analyzing the loss of ATM ...
Phase I studies of AZD1208, a proviral integration Moloney virus kinase inhibitor in solid and haematological cancers.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Proviral integration Moloney virus (PIM) kinases (PIM1, 2 and 3) are overexpressed in several tumour types and contribute to oncogenesis. AZD1208 is a potent ATP-competitive PIM kinase inhibitor investigated ...
Single-Cell Analyses of Prostate Cancer Liquid Biopsies Acquired by Apheresis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-11-15)
Purpose: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have clinical relevance, but their study has been limited by their low frequency.Experimental Design: We evaluated liquid biopsies by apheresis to increase CTC yield from patients ...
Managing Nonmetastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-02-01)
CONTEXT: Patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) have rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and castrate testosterone levels, with no radiological findings of metastatic disease on computed ...
A phase I study to assess afatinib in combination with carboplatin or with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
(SPRINGER, 2018-11-01)
PURPOSE: Afatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, has demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity with chemotherapy. METHODS: As part of a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT00809133; 3 + 3 ...
RNAi screen reveals synthetic lethality between cyclin G-associated kinase and FBXW7 by inducing aberrant mitoses.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-26)
BACKGROUND: F-box and WD40 repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in the ubiquitination and degradation of multiple oncogenic substrates. The tumour suppressor function is frequently lost in ...
Patient-derived organoids model treatment response of metastatic gastrointestinal cancers.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2018-02-23)
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have recently emerged as robust preclinical models; however, their potential to predict clinical outcomes in patients has remained unclear. We report on a living biobank of PDOs from ...
