TP53 modulates radiotherapy fraction size sensitivity in normal and malignant cells.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-29)
Recent clinical trials in breast and prostate cancer have established that fewer, larger daily doses (fractions) of radiotherapy are safe and effective, but these do not represent personalised dosing on a patient-by-patient ...
The melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment does not adequately discriminate prognosis in a modern population with brain metastases from malignant melanoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-11-03)
BACKGROUND: The melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment (msGPA) assigns patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma to 1 of 4 prognostic groups. It was largely derived using clinical data from patients ...
Differential and longitudinal immune gene patterns associated with reprogrammed microenvironment and viral mimicry in response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy in rectal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Rectal cancers show a highly varied response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiation (RT/CRT) and the impact of the tumor immune microenvironment on this response is poorly understood. Current clinical tumor ...
ATR Inhibition Potentiates the Radiation-induced Inflammatory Tumor Microenvironment.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06-01)
PURPOSE: ATR inhibitors (ATRi) are in early phase clinical trials and have been shown to sensitize to chemotherapy and radiotherapy preclinically. Limited data have been published about the effect of these drugs on the ...
The immunological consequences of radiation-induced DNA damage.
(WILEY, 2019-04-01)
Historically, our understanding of the cytotoxicity of radiation has centred on tumour cell-autonomous mechanisms of cell death. Here, tumour cell death occurs when a threshold number of radiation-induced non-reparable ...
Radiotherapy enhances responses of lung cancer to CTLA-4 blockade.
(BMC, 2019-03-06)
Formenti et al. have recently reported the clinical outcomes and translational readouts of a trial of the anti-CTLA-4 inhibitor, ipilimumab, in combination with palliative radiotherapy in 39 patients with non-small cell ...
Combination therapy with oncolytic viruses and immune checkpoint inhibitors.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2020-06-02)
Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have dramatically improved the outcome for cancer patients across multiple tumor types. However the response rates to ICI monotherapy remain relatively low, in part due to ...
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-01)
The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ...
OX40 and 4-1BB delineate distinct immune profiles in sarcoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2022-12-31)
Systemic relapse after radiotherapy and surgery is the major cause of disease-related mortality in sarcoma patients. Combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy is under investigation as a means to improve response rates. ...
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. ...
