National survey of fiducial marker insertion for prostate image guided radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)
INTRODUCTION: In the United Kingdom fiducial marker IGRT is the second most common verification method employed in radical prostate radiotherapy yet little evidence exists to support centres introducing or developing this ...
Two-years Postradiotherapy Biopsies: Lessons from MRC RT01 Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: The importance of 2-yr postradiotherapy prostate biopsy status remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of 2 year post treatment biopsies in a randomised trial of radiotherapy dose escalation. DESIGN, ...
Sp1 phosphorylation by ATM downregulates BER and promotes cell elimination in response to persistent DNA damage.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-02-28)
ATM (ataxia-telangiectasia mutated) is a central molecule for DNA quality control. Its activation by DNA damage promotes cell-cycle delay, which facilitates DNA repair prior to replication. On the other hand, persistent ...
The role of genomic profiling in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with advanced cancer participating in phase I clinical trials.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-05-01)
INTRODUCTION: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with cancer between ages 15-39 years may harbour germline variants associated with cancer predisposition. Such variants represent putative therapeutic targets, ...
Molecular, Pathological, Radiological, and Immune Profiling of Non-brainstem Pediatric High-Grade Glioma from the HERBY Phase II Randomized Trial.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-05-14)
The HERBY trial was a phase II open-label, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating bevacizumab (BEV) in addition to temozolomide/radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed non-brainstem high-grade glioma (HGG) between ...
Intensity modulated radiotherapy in locally advanced thyroid cancer: Outcomes of a sequential phase I dose-escalation study.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-04-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To determine the safety and tolerability of dose-escalation using modestly accelerated IMRT in high-risk locally advanced thyroid cancer requiring post-operative radiotherapy, and to report preliminary ...
Polygenic hazard score to guide screening for aggressive prostate cancer: development and validation in large scale cohorts.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-10)
OBJECTIVES: To develop and validate a genetic tool to predict age of onset of aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) and to guide decisions of who to screen and at what age. DESIGN: Analysis of genotype, PCa status, and age to ...
BRD4 Promotes DNA Repair and Mediates the Formation of TMPRSS2-ERG Gene Rearrangements in Prostate Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-01-16)
BRD4 belongs to the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of chromatin reader proteins that bind acetylated histones and regulate gene expression. Pharmacological inhibition of BRD4 by BET inhibitors (BETi) has indicated ...
FDXR is a biomarker of radiation exposure in vivo.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-15)
Previous investigations in gene expression changes in blood after radiation exposure have highlighted its potential to provide biomarkers of exposure. Here, FDXR transcriptional changes in blood were investigated in humans ...
Strategies and technical challenges for imaging oligometastatic disease: Recommendations from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer imaging group.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-03-01)
Patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) often have controllable symptoms, and cures are possible. Technical improvements in surgery and radiotherapy have introduced the option of metastasis-directed ablative therapies ...
