Chemical- and radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis: current treatments and challenges.
(WILEY, 2013-11-01)
• To review the published data on predisposing risk factors for cancer treatment-induced haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) and the evidence for the different preventive and therapeutic measures that have been used in order to ...
Cancer genetics, precision prevention and a call to action.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-09-01)
More than 15 years have passed since the identification, through linkage, of 'first-wave' susceptibility genes for common cancers (BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1 and MSH2). These genes have strong frequency-penetrance profiles, such ...
Patient advocate involvement in the design and conduct of breast cancer clinical trials requiring the collection of multiple biopsies.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)
PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY: Breast cancer is a diverse and varied disease. Recent research has shown that the collection of multiple biopsies before surgery can help researchers determine how the cancer is responding to treatment ...
Breast reconstruction and post-mastectomy radiation practice
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2013-03-02)
Purpose: The goal of this study was to explore the perspectives and practice of radiation oncologists who treat breast cancer patients who have had breast reconstruction. Methods: In 2010, an original electronic survey was ...
Beam modeling and VMAT performance with the Agility 160-leaf multileaf collimator.
(2013-05-06)
The Agility multileaf collimator (Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) has 160 leaves of projected width 0.5 cm at the isocenter, with maximum leaf speed 3.5 cms-1. These characteristics promise to facilitate fast and accurate ...
Identifying and characterising Thrap3, Bclaf1 and Erh interactions using cross-linking mass spectrometry
(F1000 Research Ltd, 2023-01-06)
<ns3:p><ns3:bold>Background: </ns3:bold>Cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is a powerful technology capable of yielding structural insights across the complex cellular protein interaction network. However, up to date ...
Association between intrahospital transfer and hospital-acquired infection in the elderly: a retrospective case-control study in a UK hospital network.
(BMJ, 2021-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Intrahospital transfers have become more common as hospital staff balance patient needs with bed availability. However, this may leave patients more vulnerable to potential pathogen transmission routes via ...
Associations between genetic variants in mRNA splicing-related genes and risk of lung cancer: a pathway-based analysis from published GWASs.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-17)
mRNA splicing is an important mechanism to regulate mRNA expression. Abnormal regulation of this process may lead to lung cancer. Here, we investigated the associations of 11,966 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ...
Evolutionary selection of alleles in the melanophilin gene that impacts on prostate organ function and cancer risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-02-26)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Several hundred inherited genetic variants or SNPs that alter the risk of cancer have been identified through genome-wide association studies. In populations of European ancestry, these variants ...
