Cross-Stratification and Differential Risk by Breast Cancer Index and Recurrence Score in Women with Hormone Receptor-Positive Lymph Node-Negative Early-Stage Breast Cancer.
(2016-10)
Purpose Previous results from the TransATAC study demonstrated that both the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and the OncotypeDX Recurrence Score (RS) added significant prognostic information to clinicopathologic factors over a ...
Peri-operative chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab in operable oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma (UK Medical Research Council ST03): primary analysis results of a multicentre, open-label, randomised phase 2-3 trial.
(2017-03)
Background Peri-operative chemotherapy and surgery is a standard of care for patients with resectable oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma. Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody against VEGF, improves the proportion of patients ...
Eye on the B-ALL: B-cell receptor repertoires reveal persistence of numerous B-lymphoblastic leukemia subclones from diagnosis to relapse.
(2016-12)
The strongest predictor of relapse in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the level of persistence of tumor cells after initial therapy. The high mutation rate of the B-cell receptor (BCR) locus allows high-resolution ...
Comparison of the Performance of 6 Prognostic Signatures for Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.
(2018-04)
Importance:Multiple molecular signatures are available for managing estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer but with little direct comparative information to guide the patient's choice. Objective:To conduct a ...
A PAM50-Based Chemoendocrine Score for Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer with an Intermediate Risk of Relapse.
(2017-06)
Purpose: Hormone receptor-positive (HR + ) breast cancer is clinically and biologically heterogeneous, and subgroups with different prognostic and treatment sensitivities need to be identified. Experimental Design: ...
Fate of the metabolically healthy obese-is this term a misnomer? A study from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
(2019-05)
INTRODUCTION:The metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype may express typical characteristics on long-term follow-up. Little is known about the initiation of this phenotypes and its future stability. AIM:The Clinical ...
p.(L576P) -KIT mutation in GIST: Favorable prognosis and sensitive to imatinib?
(2016-05)
Exon 11 KIT mutations are found in a majority of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and are usually predictive of response to imatinib, a KIT, PDGFRA and ABL inhibitor. Exon 11 mutations with poor sensitivity to imatinib ...
Absence of progression, not extent of tumour shrinkage, defines prognosis in soft-tissue sarcoma - An analysis of the EORTC 62012 study of the EORTC STBSG.
(2016-09)
Background Anthracycline-based chemotherapy remains the mainstay of first-line treatment in metastatic or advanced soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). Age, performance status, tumour histology and tumour grade are recognised ...
Impact of chemotherapy in uterine sarcoma (UtS): review of 13 clinical trials from the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group (STBSG) involving advanced/metastatic UtS compared to other soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients treated with first line chemotherapy.
(2016-07)
Objective UtS are a group of uncommon tumors representing 1% of malignant neoplasms of the female genital tract, and 7% of sarcomas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with the clinical ...
Cisplatin Substitution with Carboplatin During Radical Chemoradiotherapy for Oesophagogastric Carcinoma: Outcomes from a Tertiary Centre.
(2018-10)
Background/aim Cisplatin-based radical chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is utilised in oesophagogastric (OG) cancer but the toxicity profile of cisplatin limits its use. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and ...
