On the potential of multi-spectral x-ray and photoacoustic imaging to facilitate gold nanoparticle mediated dose-enhanced radiotherapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-07-31)
Magnetic resonance image guided adaptive radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)
Multiple challenges exist in radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer. These lead to uncertainty and error in dose delivered to the tumour target and organs at risk (OARs). Adequate planning target volume (PTV) ...
Late recurrence in ER+ breast cancer - refining risk prediction beyond 5 years
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
ER positive (ER+) breast cancer has the potential to recur many years following diagnosis. Predicting who is most at risk of recurrence and when this may occur is complex. Risk prediction incorporates clinical, pathological ...
The molecular pathology of infant gliomas
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-04-30)
Infant high grade gliomas appear clinically distinct from their counterparts in older children, indicating that histopathologic grading may not accurately reflect the biology of these tumours. I have collected 241 cases ...
Investigating roles of the SWI/SNF complex subunits in genome stability, chromatin organisation, innate immune signalling and replication stress
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-12-31)
The alterations of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex subunits happen in 30% of malignancies. The exact mechanisms by which SWI/SNF alterations contribute to tumourigenesis are still not entirely clear. Here, I ...
Applications of liquid biopsies in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-02-29)
Despite many recent advances, treating advanced prostate cancer (PC) remains clinically challenging. The need for vaildated circulating biomarkers is well recognised in almost all cancers, including in PC. Whilst circulating ...
Identification of novel targets for the treatment of endocrine-resistant breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)
While endocrine therapy is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for oestrogen receptor positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, a large proportion of initial responders will develop hormone therapy resistance, and relapse. ...
Biomarkers of therapy response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma AND Adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-04-30)
The cornerstone of treatment for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are anti-VEGF and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI). However, there are no clinically implemented predictive biomarkers in any therapeutic ...
Four-dimensional imaging for radiotherapy planning in children and teenagers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-02-28)
Respiratory-related organ motion (RROM) is a potential source of geometric uncertainty in RT planning and delivery. Approaches to mitigate its effects are well described in adults. For example, four-dimensional computed ...
The value of elective pelvic lymph node radiotherapy in high risk prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-04-30)
High risk prostate cancer patients carry a high risk of microscopic pelvic lymph node (PLN) disease; however, the clinical benefit elective PLN radiotherapy remains unproven due to conflicting results from clinical trials. ...
