Improving outcomes for older women with gynaecological malignancies.
(2016-11)
The incidence of most gynaecological malignancies rises significantly with increasing age. With an ageing population, the proportion of women over the age of 65 with cancer is expected to rise substantially over the next ...
Endovaginal magnetic resonance imaging of stage 1A/1B cervical cancer with A T2- and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance technique: effect of lesion size and previous cone biopsy on tumor detectability.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2011-03-01)
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of previous cone biopsy and lesion size on detectability of stage 1a/1b cervical cancer using endovaginal T2- and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS: One hundred and ...
Preoperative imaging in patients undergoing trachelectomy for cervical cancer: validation of a combined T2- and diffusion-weighted endovaginal MRI technique at 3.0 T.
(ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE, 2014-05-01)
AIM: The aim of this study is to validate high-resolution endovaginal T2- and diffusion-weighted MRI measurements (tumour size, volume and length of uninvolved cervical canal) against histology in patients undergoing ...
Separation of type and grade in cervical tumours using non-mono-exponential models of diffusion-weighted MRI.
(SPRINGER, 2017-02-01)
OBJECTIVES: Assessment of empirical diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) models in cervical tumours to investigate whether fitted parameters distinguish between types and grades of tumours. METHODS: Forty-two patients (24 ...
Distortion correction of echo-planar diffusion-weighted images of uterine cervix.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-05-01)
PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical utility of the reverse gradient algorithm in correcting distortions in diffusion-weighted images of the cervix and for increasing diagnostic performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-one ...
Combined Ultrasound and Cone Beam CT Improves Target Segmentation for Image Guided Radiation Therapy in Uterine Cervix Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-07-01)
PURPOSE: Adaptive radiation therapy strategies could account for interfractional uterine motion observed in patients with cervix cancer, but the current cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based treatment workflow is ...
Realizing the potential of magnetic resonance image guided radiotherapy in gynaecological and rectal cancer.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-05-14)
CT-based radiotherapy workflow is limited by poor soft tissue definition in the pelvis and reliance on rigid registration methods. Current image-guided radiotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy models therefore have limited ...
A phase I pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of the oral mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor, WX-554, in patients with advanced solid tumours.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-11-01)
PURPOSE: We performed a multi-centre phase I study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the orally available small molecule mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) 1/2 inhibitor, ...
MRI measurement of residual cervical length after radical trachelectomy for cervical cancer and the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes: a blinded imaging analysis.
(WILEY, 2018-12-01)
OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between the residual cervix measured on postoperative MRI after radical vaginal trachelectomy (RVT) and adverse obstetrical outcomes. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Referral ...
Comparison of optimised endovaginal vs external array coil T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted imaging techniques for detecting suspected early stage (IA/IB1) uterine cervical cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2016-04-01)
OBJECTIVE: To compare sensitivity and specificity of endovaginal versus external-array coil T2-W and T2-W + DWI for detecting and staging small cervical tumours. METHODS: Optimised endovaginal and external array coil MRI ...
