Second primary cancers in patients with acute lymphoblastic, chronic lymphocytic and hairy cell leukaemia.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Improvement of survival in lymphocytic leukaemia has been accompanied by the occurrence of second primary cancer (SPCs). Based on Swedish Family Cancer Database, we applied bi-directional analyses in which relative risks ...
Oxygen Enhanced Optoacoustic Tomography (OE-OT) Reveals Vascular Dynamics in Murine Models of Prostate Cancer.
(IVYSPRING INT PUBL, 2017-01-01)
Poor oxygenation of solid tumours has been linked with resistance to chemo- and radio-therapy and poor patient outcomes, hence non-invasive imaging of oxygen supply and demand in tumours could improve disease staging and ...
Evaluation of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI biomarkers for stratified cancer medicine: How do permeability and perfusion vary between human tumours?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Solid tumours exhibit enhanced vessel permeability and fenestrated endothelium to varying degree, but it is unknown how this varies in patients between and within tumour types. Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) ...
Toward a real liquid biopsy in metastatic breast and prostate cancer: Diagnostic LeukApheresis increases CTC yields in a European prospective multicenter study (CTCTrap).
(WILEY, 2018-11-15)
Frequently, the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC) isolated in 7.5 mL of blood is too small to reliably determine tumor heterogeneity and to be representative as a "liquid biopsy". In the EU FP7 program CTCTrap, we ...
Plasma Tie2 is a tumor vascular response biomarker for VEGF inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-11-07)
Oncological use of anti-angiogenic VEGF inhibitors has been limited by the lack of informative biomarkers. Previously we reported circulating Tie2 as a vascular response biomarker for bevacizumab-treated ovarian cancer ...
Chlorambucil targets BRCA1/2-deficient tumours and counteracts PARP inhibitor resistance.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
Due to compromised homologous recombination (HR) repair, BRCA1- and BRCA2-mutated tumours accumulate DNA damage and genomic rearrangements conducive of tumour progression. To identify drugs that target specifically ...
Immune activation by DNA damage predicts response to chemotherapy and survival in oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-01)
OBJECTIVE: Current strategies to guide selection of neoadjuvant therapy in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) are inadequate. We assessed the ability of a DNA damage immune response (DDIR) assay to predict response following ...
Recommendations for determining HPV status in patients with oropharyngeal cancers under TNM8 guidelines: a two-tier approach.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-04-16)
BACKGROUND: TNM8 staging for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) surrogates p16 immunohistochemistry for HPV testing. Patients with p16+ OPSCC may lack HPV aetiology. Here, we evaluate the suitability of TNM8 ...
MAP4K4 Inhibition Promotes Survival of Human Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes and Reduces Infarct Size In Vivo.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-04-04)
Heart disease is a paramount cause of global death and disability. Although cardiomyocyte death plays a causal role and its suppression would be logical, no clinical counter-measures target the responsible intracellular ...
MEKK3 coordinates with FBW7 to regulate WDR62 stability and neurogenesis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-12-01)
Mutations of WD repeat domain 62 (WDR62) lead to autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH), and down-regulation of WDR62 expression causes the loss of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, how WDR62 is regulated ...
