Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-07-01)
For triage purposes following a nuclear accident, blood-based gene expression biomarkers can provide rapid dose estimates for a large number of individuals. Ionizing-radiation-responsive genes are regulated through the DNA ...
Perioperative events influence cancer recurrence risk after surgery.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-04-01)
Surgery is a mainstay treatment for patients with solid tumours. However, despite surgical resection with a curative intent and numerous advances in the effectiveness of (neo)adjuvant therapies, metastatic disease remains ...
A Life Put on Pause: An Exploration of the Health-Related Quality of Life Issues Relevant to Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer.
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2018-03-22)
PURPOSE: In recent years, the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been recognized as particularly informative to healthcare providers. For adolescents and young adults (AYAs), the impact of a cancer ...
A streamlined workflow for single-cells genome-wide copy-number profiling by low-pass sequencing of LM-PCR whole-genome amplification products.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2018-03-01)
Chromosomal instability and associated chromosomal aberrations are hallmarks of cancer and play a critical role in disease progression and development of resistance to drugs. Single-cell genome analysis has gained interest ...
Checkpoints in TNF-Induced Cell Death: Implications in Inflammation and Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-01-01)
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a proinflammatory cytokine that coordinates tissue homeostasis by regulating cytokine production, cell survival, and cell death. However, how life and death decisions are made in response to ...
Nothing in cancer makes sense except….
(BMC, 2018-02-21)
Paraphrasing Dobzhansky's famous dictum, I discuss how interrogating cancer through the lens of evolution has transformed our understanding of its development, causality and treatment resistance. The emerging picture of ...
Glutathione Metabolism: An Achilles' Heel of ARID1A-Deficient Tumors.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-02-11)
In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ogiwara et al. describe a novel link between the epigenetic regulator ARID1A and glutathione metabolism in cancer that is mediated by regulation of the cystine/glutamate transporter XCT. This ...
