Immune and muli-omic profiling for molecular classification and biomarker discovery in soft tissue sarcoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-02-29)
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of over 50 rare cancers of mesenchymal origin. Classification of STS is primarily based on histological characteristics of tumours. Novel biomarkers are required that account for the ...
Circulating microRNA-652-3p as a biomarker of regorafenib resistance in metastatic colorectal cancer patients
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-09-30)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in cell homeostasis. MiRNAs dysregulation has been linked with activation of oncogenic pathways, cancer progression and clinical outcome in metastatic colorectal cancer ...
Triplet combination of palbociclib, taselisib and fulvestrant and biomarkers for CDK4/6 and PI3-kinase inhibition in breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Targeting the commonly upregulated cell-cycle and PI3-kinase pathway in breast cancer are two of the most novel approaches to tackle the disease, with both strategies having led to clinically meaningful results and licensed ...
Biological effects of combination therapy with oncolytic reovirus and palbociclib
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Reovirus type 3 Dearing (RtD3) is an oncolytic dsRNA virus with limited single-agent activity in clinical studies but has potential for use in combination regimens. Herein, I sought to discover synergistic drug-virotherapy ...
Reference dosimetry of MRI-guided radiotherapy machines
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
A cutting-edge cancer treatment modality, that integrates MRI guidance and delivery of radiotherapy (MRIgRT), sets a new standard for personalised radiotherapy. There are, however, aspects around the accurate determination ...
BRCA1 loss-of-function triggers metabolic vulnerability to glutamine deprivation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Germline and somatic mutations of BRCA1 are associated with cancer initiation and progression. Although the role of BRCA1 is clearly defined in DNA-repair pathways, alternative functions of BRCA1 still remain obscure. Here, ...
Advanced magnetic resonance imaging in lung mesothelioma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-07-31)
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a rind-like growth pattern and may have both solid disease and pleural fluid, so it is very challenging to accurately categorize change in tumour burden using size-based tumour ...
Mathematical modelling of subclonal interactions in paediatric high-grade gliomas
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)
Despite a low overall mutational burden, paediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) display high intra-tumour heterogeneity. Accumulating evidence suggest the presence of cellular mechanisms that maintain such high heterogeneity, ...
Improving outcomes in older women with ovarian cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Background: Older women have disproportionately poorer survival outcomes for ovarian cancer. Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and density is of interest as a potential non-invasive biomarker of frailty. Little is ...
Investigating acute cellular responses to elevated APOBEC3B expression
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
The cytosine deaminase APOBEC3B (A3B) functions as part of innate immunity by mutating viral DNA and preventing replication. Large-scale genome sequencing studies and examination of expression levels have identified mutations ...
