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 ...
Diagnostic Accuracy of FEC-PET/CT, FDG-PET/CT, and Diffusion-Weighted MRI in Detection of Nodal Metastases in Surgically Treated Endometrial and Cervical Carcinoma.
(2021-09-15)
Purpose Preoperative nodal staging is important for planning treatment in cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, but remains challenging. We compare nodal staging accuracy of 18 F-ethyl-choline-(FEC)-PET/CT, 18 ...
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 ...
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 ...

PURPOSE.—:To update key recommendations of the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) testing in breast cancer guideline. METHODS.—:A ...
Systemic Radiotherapy of Bone Metastases With Radionuclides.
(2021-02)
Treatments of bone metastases using radionuclides are now well established in oncology. It is also a field that continues to develop. This article reviews the evidence base that led to the approval of strontium-89 and ...
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. ...
Adjuvant Imatinib in Patients with GIST Harboring Exon 9 KIT Mutations: Results from a Multi-institutional European Retrospective Study.
(2021-10-06)
<h4>Purpose</h4>The effect of high-dose imatinib (800 mg/day) on survival in the adjuvant treatment of patients with resected KIT exon 9-mutated gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is not established. Here, the association ...
