Identifying common immunological mechanisms in fibrosis: an immunophenotypic analysis of the capsular response to silicone
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-08-01)
Silicone is implanted widely in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. The resultant immune response is poorly understood but implicated in two divergent capsular pathologies: fibrosis (capsular contracture, CC) and ...
Mutations in ALK signaling pathways conferring resistance to ALK inhibitor treatment lead to collateral vulnerabilities in neuroblastoma cells.
(BMC, 2022-06-10)
BACKGROUND: Development of resistance to targeted therapies has tempered initial optimism that precision oncology would improve poor outcomes for cancer patients. Resistance mechanisms, however, can also confer new ...
Accumulation of copy number alterations and clinical progression across advanced prostate cancer.
(BMC, 2022-09-05)
BACKGROUND: Genomic copy number alterations commonly occur in prostate cancer and are one measure of genomic instability. The clinical implication of copy number change in advanced prostate cancer, which defines a wide ...
Challenges in oncology career: are we closing the gender gap? Results of the new ESMO Women for Oncology Committee survey.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Following a European Society for Medical Oncology Women for Oncology (ESMO W4O) survey in 2016 showing severe under-representation of female oncologists in leadership roles, ESMO launched a series of initiatives ...
Baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio as a predictive and prognostic biomarker in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated with cabazitaxel versus abiraterone or enzalutamide in the CARD study.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-08-24)
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with poor overall survival (OS) for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). In the CARD ...
Pathological regression of primary tumour and metastatic lymph nodes following chemotherapy in resectable OG cancer: pooled analysis of two trials.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-06-15)
BACKGROUND: No definitive largescale data exist evaluating the role of pathologically defined regression changes within the primary tumour and lymph nodes (LN) of resected oesophagogastric (OG) adenocarcinoma following ...
Evaluation of Performance Tradeoffs When Using Mechanically Swept 1-D Linear Arrays for 3-D DCE-US.
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2023-07-01)
Dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (DCE-US) may be used to characterize tumor vascular perfusion using metrics derived from time-amplitude curves (TACs). The 3-D DCE-US enables generation of 3-D parametric maps ...
Locoregional control and toxicity following high-dose hypofractionated and accelerated palliative radiotherapy regimens in breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2023-09-01)
AIMS: For patients with locally advanced primary/recurrent breast cancer, radiotherapy is an effective treatment for locoregional control. 36 Gy in 6 Gy once-weekly fractions is a commonly used schedule, but there are no ...
Uridine-derived ribose fuels glucose-restricted pancreatic cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-06-01)
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease notoriously resistant to therapy1,2. This is mediated in part by a complex tumour microenvironment3, low vascularity4, and metabolic aberrations5,6. Although altered ...
Dynamic Changes in the NK-, Neutrophil-, and B-cell Immunophenotypes Relevant in High Metastatic Risk Post Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy-Resistant Early Breast Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-10-14)
PURPOSE: To identify potential immune targets in post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC)-resistant triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and ER+HER2- breast cancer disease. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Following pathology review, 153 ...
