Evaluation of therapeutic radiographer contouring for magnetic resonance image guided online adaptive prostate radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The implementation of MRI-guided online adaptive radiotherapy has facilitated the extension of therapeutic radiographers' roles to include contouring, thus releasing the clinician from attending ...
Repeatability of quantitative individual lesion and total disease multiparametric whole-body MRI measurements in prostate cancer bone metastases.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2023-11-01)
OBJECTIVES: To assess the repeatability of quantitative multiparametric whole-body MRI (mpWB-MRI) parameters in advanced prostate cancer (APC) bone metastases. METHODS: 1.5T MRI was performed twice on the same day in 10 ...
Targeting myeloid chemotaxis to reverse prostate cancer therapy resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-30)
Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer1. In patients with cancer, peripheral blood myeloid expansion, indicated by a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, associates with shorter survival and treatment resistance across ...
Thromboxane biosynthesis in cancer patients and its inhibition by aspirin: a sub-study of the Add-Aspirin trial.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-09-07)
BACKGROUND: Pre-clinical models demonstrate that platelet activation is involved in the spread of malignancy. Ongoing clinical trials are assessing whether aspirin, which inhibits platelet activation, can prevent or delay ...
The impact of restricted length of treatment field and anthropometric factors on selection of head and neck cancer patients for treatment on the MR-Linac.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the impact of a restricted craniocaudal (CC) field length of <20 cm on the selection of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who can be treated on the MR-Linac using a single isocentre ...
Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-06)
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of ...
Polygenic hazard score is associated with prostate cancer in multi-ethnic populations.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-02-23)
Genetic models for cancer have been evaluated using almost exclusively European data, which could exacerbate health disparities. A polygenic hazard score (PHS1) is associated with age at prostate cancer diagnosis and ...
An integrative multi-omics analysis to identify candidate DNA methylation biomarkers related to prostate cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-08-06)
It remains elusive whether some of the associations identified in genome-wide association studies of prostate cancer (PrCa) may be due to regulatory effects of genetic variants on CpG sites, which may further influence ...
Disease consequences of higher adiposity uncoupled from its adverse metabolic effects using Mendelian randomisation.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2022-01-25)
BACKGROUND: Some individuals living with obesity may be relatively metabolically healthy, whilst others suffer from multiple conditions that may be linked to adverse metabolic effects or other factors. The extent to which ...
Abiraterone acetate and prednisolone with or without enzalutamide for high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer: a meta-analysis of primary results from two randomised controlled phase 3 trials of the STAMPEDE platform protocol.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-01-29)
BACKGROUND: Men with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer are treated with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for 3 years, often combined with radiotherapy. We analysed new data from two randomised controlled phase 3 ...
