Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio kinetics in patients with advanced solid tumours on phase I trials of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-01-01)
BACKGROUND: Although the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is prognostic in many oncological settings, its significance in the immunotherapy era is unknown. Mechanistically, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may alter NLR. We sought ...
Genetically modified lentiviruses that preserve microvascular function protect against late radiation damage in normal tissues.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2018-01-24)
Improvements in cancer survival mean that long-term toxicities, which contribute to the morbidity of cancer survivorship, are being increasingly recognized. Late adverse effects (LAEs) in normal tissues after radiotherapy ...
Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-07-01)
For triage purposes following a nuclear accident, blood-based gene expression biomarkers can provide rapid dose estimates for a large number of individuals. Ionizing-radiation-responsive genes are regulated through the DNA ...
IGF-1R associates with adverse outcomes after radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-11-21)
BACKGROUND: Activated type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptors (IGF-1Rs) undergo internalisation and nuclear translocation, promoting cell survival. We previously reported that IGF-1R inhibition delays DNA damage repair, ...
Low expression of hexokinase-2 is associated with false-negative FDG-positron emission tomography in multiple myeloma.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2017-07-06)
18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging with background signal suppression (DWIBS) are 2 powerful functional imaging modalities in the evaluation ...
Influence of obesity-related risk factors in the aetiology of glioma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-04-01)
BACKGROUND: Obesity and related factors have been implicated as possible aetiological factors for the development of glioma in epidemiological observation studies. We used genetic markers in a Mendelian randomisation ...
Three-dimensional cardiovascular imaging-genetics: a mass univariate framework.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-01-01)
MOTIVATION: Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a strong predictor of cardiovascular outcomes, but its genetic regulation remains largely unexplained. Conventional phenotyping relies on manual calculation of LV mass and ...
Differential impact of RB status on E2F1 reprogramming in human cancer.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-01-02)
The tumor suppressor protein retinoblastoma (RB) is mechanistically linked to suppression of transcription factor E2F1-mediated cell cycle regulation. For multiple tumor types, loss of RB function is associated with poor ...
A Life Put on Pause: An Exploration of the Health-Related Quality of Life Issues Relevant to Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer.
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2018-03-22)
PURPOSE: In recent years, the assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been recognized as particularly informative to healthcare providers. For adolescents and young adults (AYAs), the impact of a cancer ...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: A "Game Changer" for Prostate Treatment?
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)
Radiation therapy to the prostate involves increasingly sophisticated delivery techniques and changing fractionation schedules. With a low estimated α/β ratio, a larger dose per fraction would be beneficial, with moderate ...
