Ripretinib for the treatment of adult patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2023-02-01)
INTRODUCTION: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Imatinib mesylate revolutionized the management of advanced/metastatic GIST, and remains the standard ...
Overall survival with palbociclib plus endocrine therapy versus capecitabine in postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer in the PEARL study.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-06-01)
BACKGROUND: An earlier analysis of the PEARL phase III study showed that palbociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) does not improve progression-free survival (PFS) over capecitabine in aromatase inhibitor-resistant, hormone ...
A Phase 1/2 trial of SRA737 (a Chk1 inhibitor) administered orally in patients with advanced cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-07-27)
BACKGROUND: This was a first-in-human Phase 1/2 open-label dose-escalation study of the novel checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) inhibitor SRA737. METHODS: Patients with advanced solid tumours enrolled in dose-escalation cohorts ...
Patterns of Failure After Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy to Sacral Metastases.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2023-05-01)
AIMS: Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is increasingly used to treat sacral metastases. We analysed our centre's local relapse rates and patterns of failure after sacral SBRT and assessed whether using the consensus ...
Correlation of Clinician- and Patient-Reported Outcomes in the BC2001 Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2023-05-01)
AIMS: To evaluate whether there is sufficient correlation between patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and clinician-reported outcomes (CROs) in bladder cancer follow-up post-radiotherapy to streamline data collection and to ...

Epithelioid malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (EMPNST, malignant epithelioid schwannoma) is a rare variant of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor that has morphologic and immunophenotypic overlap with a variety ...
Drugging the Undruggable: Advances on RAS Targeting in Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-06-10)
Around 20% of all malignancies harbour activating mutations in RAS isoforms. Despite this, there is a deficiency of RAS-targeting agents licensed for therapeutic use. The picomolar affinity of RAS for GTP, and the lack of ...
Characterisation of tumour microenvironment remodelling following oncogene inhibition in preclinical studies with imaging mass cytometry.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-10-08)
Mouse models are critical in pre-clinical studies of cancer therapy, allowing dissection of mechanisms through chemical and genetic manipulations that are not feasible in the clinical setting. In studies of the tumour ...
The roles of intratumour heterogeneity in the biology and treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-10-14)
Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) has become an important focus of cancer research in recent years. ITH describes the cellular variation that enables tumour evolution, including tumour progression, metastasis and resistance ...
Rechallenge with BRAF-directed treatment in metastatic melanoma: A multi-institutional retrospective study.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Most metastatic melanoma patients treated with BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) ± MEK inhibitors (MEKi) eventually progress on treatment. Along with acquired resistance due to genetic changes, epigenetic mechanisms that ...
