SF3B1 hotspot mutations confer sensitivity to PARP inhibition by eliciting a defective replication stress response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-08-01)
SF3B1 hotspot mutations are associated with a poor prognosis in several tumor types and lead to global disruption of canonical splicing. Through synthetic lethal drug screens, we identify that SF3B1 mutant (SF3B1MUT) cells ...
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 ...
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 ...
Identifying health-related quality of life cut-off scores that indicate the need for supportive care in young adults with cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2022-04-27)
PURPOSE: Using patient-reported outcomes in routine cancer care may improve health outcomes. However, a lack of information about which scores are problematic in specific populations can impede use. To facilitate interpretation ...
Bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors-A consensus prioritisation after the Paediatric Strategy Forum for medicinal product development of epigenetic modifiers in children-ACCELERATE.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-02-16)
Based on biology and pre-clinical data, bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors have at least three potential roles in paediatric malignancies: NUT (nuclear protein in testis) carcinomas, MYC/MYCN-driven cancers and ...
Updates on radiotherapy-immunotherapy combinations: Proceedings of 6th annual ImmunoRad conference.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2023-12-31)
Focal radiation therapy (RT) has attracted considerable attention as a combinatorial partner for immunotherapy (IT), largely reflecting a well-defined, predictable safety profile and at least some potential for immunostimulation. ...
Molecular Characterization of Circulating Tumor DNA in Pediatric Rhabdomyosarcoma: A Feasibility Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-10-01)
PURPOSE: Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) are rare neoplasms affecting children and young adults. Efforts to improve patient survival have been undermined by a lack of suitable disease markers. Plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) ...
Cannabinoids in the landscape of cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-07-14)
INTRODUCTION: Cannabinoids are a group of terpenophenolic compounds derived from the Cannabis sativa L. plant. There is a growing body of evidence from cell culture and animal studies in support of cannabinoids possessing ...
Optimising CT-guided biopsies of sclerotic bone lesions in cancer patients.
(SPRINGER, 2022-07-26)
OBJECTIVES: Investigate the laboratory, imaging and procedural factors that are associated with a tumour-positive and/or NGS-feasible CT-guided sclerotic bone lesion biopsy result in cancer patients. METHODS: In total, 113 ...
Combining Mutational Signatures, Clonal Fitness, and Drug Affinity to Define Drug-Specific Resistance Mutations in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-11-15)
The emergence of mutations that confer resistance to molecularly targeted therapeutics is dependent upon the effect of each mutation on drug affinity for the target protein, the clonal fitness of cells harboring the mutation, ...
