Mosquito control exposures and breast cancer risk: analysis of 1071 cases and 2096 controls from the Ghana Breast Health Study.
(BMC, 2023-12-11)Epidemiologic data on insecticide exposures and breast cancer risk are inconclusive and mostly from high-income countries. Using data from 1071 invasive pathologically confirmed breast cancer cases and 2096 controls from ... -
Comparison of Circulating Tumor DNA Assays for Molecular Residual Disease Detection in Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients who have completed treatment for early-stage breast cancer is associated with a high risk of relapse, yet the optimal assay for ctDNA detection is unknown. ... -

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-02-15)<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>The presence of germline mutations plays an increasingly important role in risk assessment and treatment ... -
A hypoxia biomarker does not predict benefit from giving chemotherapy with radiotherapy in the BC2001 randomised controlled trial.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-02-21)BACKGROUND: BC2001 showed combining chemotherapy (5-FU + mitomycin-C) with radiotherapy improves loco-regional disease-free survival in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). We previously showed a 24-gene ... -
The Capacity of Drug-Metabolising Enzymes in Modulating the Therapeutic Efficacy of Drugs to Treat Rhabdomyosarcoma.
(MDPI, 2024-02-29)Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma (STS) that predominantly affects children and teenagers. It is the most common STS in children (40%) and accounts for 5-8% of total childhood malignancies. Apart from ... -
Frontline and Relapsed Rhabdomyosarcoma (FAR-RMS) Clinical Trial: A Report from the European Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG).
(MDPI, 2024-02-29)The Frontline and Relapsed Rhabdomyosarcoma (FaR-RMS) clinical trial is an overarching, multinational study for children and adults with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). The trial, developed by the European Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study ... -
Longitudinal profiling identifies co-occurring BRCA1/2 reversions, TP53BP1, RIF1 and PAXIP1 mutations in PARP inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer.
(Elsevier BV, 2024-01-19)BACKGROUND: Resistance to therapies that target homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in breast cancer limits their overall effectiveness. Multiple, preclinically validated, mechanisms of resistance have been proposed, ... -

First-Line Ipatasertib, Atezolizumab, and Taxane Triplet for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Clinical and Biomarker Results.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: To evaluate a triplet regimen combining immune checkpoint blockade, AKT pathway inhibition, and (nab-) paclitaxel as first-line therapy for locally advanced/metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). PATIENTS ... -
Encrypted federated learning for secure decentralized collaboration in cancer image analysis.
(ELSEVIER, 2024-02-01)Artificial intelligence (AI) has a multitude of applications in cancer research and oncology. However, the training of AI systems is impeded by the limited availability of large datasets due to data protection requirements ... -
Cancer Evolution: A Multifaceted Affair.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2024-01-12)UNLABELLED: Cancer cells adapt and survive through the acquisition and selection of molecular modifications. This process defines cancer evolution. Building on a theoretical framework based on heritable genetic changes has ... -
Reappraisal of prognostic factors used in the European Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Study Group RMS 2005 study for localized rhabdomyosarcoma to optimize risk stratification and generate a prognostic nomogram.
(WILEY, 2024-02-24)BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate the role of clinical factors together with FOXO1 fusion status in patients with nonmetastatic rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) to develop a predictive model for event-free ... -
The role of APOBEC3B in lung tumor evolution and targeted cancer therapy resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-01-01)In this study, the impact of the apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing catalytic subunit-like (APOBEC) enzyme APOBEC3B (A3B) on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-driven lung cancer was assessed. A3B expression in EGFR mutant ... -
Spatial Phenotyping of Tumour Immune Microenvironment in the Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Using Artificial Intelligence
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-02-26)Lung cancer is the second most common cancer type worldwide, with a five-year survival rate of about 20%. The aggressiveness of the disease and the inefficiency of treatment are partially attributed to the intra-tumour ... -
Systemic biomarkers of immune response in locally-advanced human papillomavirus malignancies treated with radical chemoradiation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-02-19)Human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven malignancies exhibit viral oncogenic proteins that act as tumour-specific antigens, making them suitable candidates for monitoring the adaptive immune response during treatment. Chemoradiation ... -
Phenome-wide Mendelian randomisation analysis of 378,142 cases reveals risk factors for eight common cancers.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2024-03-25)For many cancers there are only a few well-established risk factors. Here, we use summary data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in a Mendelian randomisation (MR) phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to identify ... -
Therapy-induced normal tissue damage promotes breast cancer metastasis.
(CELL PRESS, 2024-01-19)Disseminated tumor cells frequently exhibit a period of dormancy, rendering them chemotherapy insensitive; conversely, the systemic delivery of chemotherapies can result in normal tissue damage. Using multiple mouse and ... -
