Magnetic resonance image guided adaptive radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-11-30)Multiple challenges exist in radiotherapy for gynaecological and rectal cancer. These lead to uncertainty and error in dose delivered to the tumour target and organs at risk (OARs). Adequate planning target volume (PTV) ... -
Magnitude of observer error using cone beam CT for prostate interfraction motion estimation: effect of reducing scan length or increasing exposure.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2015-10-01)OBJECTIVE: Cone beam CT (CBCT) enables soft-tissue registration to planning CT for position verification in radiotherapy. The aim of this study was to determine the interobserver error (IOE) in prostate position verification ... -
Mechanism-based screen establishes signalling framework for DNA damage-associated G1 checkpoint response.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2012-02-27)DNA damage activates checkpoint controls which block progression of cells through the division cycle. Several different checkpoints exist that control transit at different positions in the cell cycle. A role for checkpoint ... -
Menopausal symptoms and bone health in women undertaking risk reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy: significant bone health issues in those not taking HRT
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2011-06-28)BACKGROUND: Women at high ovarian cancer risk, especially those with mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2, are encouraged to undergo bilateral risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (BRRSPO) prior to the natural menopause. The decision ... -
Mesenchymal Cancer Cell-Stroma Crosstalk Promotes Niche Activation, Epithelial Reversion, and Metastatic Colonization.
(2015-12-06)During metastatic colonization, tumor cells must establish a favorable microenvironment or niche that will sustain their growth. However, both the temporal and molecular details of this process remain poorly understood. ... -
Meta-analysis of Genome Wide Association Studies Identifies Genetic Markers of Late Toxicity Following Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2016-08-01)Nearly 50% of cancer patients undergo radiotherapy. Late radiotherapy toxicity affects quality-of-life in long-term cancer survivors and risk of side-effects in a minority limits doses prescribed to the majority of patients. ... -
Metal-based imaging agents: progress towards interrogating neurodegenerative disease.
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2020-05-21)Central nervous system (CNS) neurodegeneration is defined by a complex series of pathological processes that ultimately lead to death. The precise etiology of these disorders remains unknown. Recent efforts show that a ... -
Metallothionein crypt-restricted immunopositivity indices (MTCRII) correlate with aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in mouse colon.

Microbiota- and Radiotherapy-Induced Gastrointestinal Side-Effects (MARS) Study: A Large Pilot Study of the Microbiome in Acute and Late-Radiation Enteropathy.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-11-01)PURPOSE: Radiotherapy is important in managing pelvic cancers. However, radiation enteropathy may occur and can be dose limiting. The gut microbiota may contribute to the pathogenesis of radiation enteropathy. We hypothesized ... -
Microenvironmental Heterogeneity Parallels Breast Cancer Progression: A Histology-Genomic Integration Analysis.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-02-16)BACKGROUND: The intra-tumor diversity of cancer cells is under intense investigation; however, little is known about the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment that is key to cancer progression and evolution. We aimed ... -
Mig6 Is a Sensor of EGF Receptor Inactivation that Directly Activates c-Abl to Induce Apoptosis during Epithelial Homeostasis
(CELL PRESS, 2012-09-11)A fundamental aspect of epithelial homeostasis is the dependence on specific growth factors for cell survival, yet the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. We found an “inverse” mode of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling ... -
Mir143 expression inversely correlates with nuclear ERK5 immunoreactivity in clinical prostate cancer
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-01-15)Background: Aberrant mitogen/extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 (MEK5)-extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 5 (ERK5)-mediated signalling has been implicated in a number of tumour types including prostate ... -
Modulation of Plasma Metabolite Biomarkers of the MAPK Pathway with MEK Inhibitor RO4987655: Pharmacodynamic and Predictive Potential in Metastatic Melanoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-10-01)MAPK pathway activation is frequently observed in human malignancies, including melanoma, and is associated with sensitivity to MEK inhibition and changes in cellular metabolism. Using quantitative mass spectrometry-based ... -
MoKCa database--mutations of kinases in cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2009-01-01)Members of the protein kinase family are amongst the most commonly mutated genes in human cancer, and both mutated and activated protein kinases have proved to be tractable targets for the development of new anticancer ... -
Molecular profiling and combinatorial activity of CCT068127: a potent CDK2 and CDK9 inhibitor.
(WILEY, 2018-03-01)Deregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancer types. Consequently, CDKs have garnered intense interest as therapeutic targets for the treatment of cancer. ... -
Monophosphothreonyl extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) are formed endogenously in intact cardiac myocytes and are enzymically active
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2011-02)ERK1 and ERK2 (ERK1/2) are central to the regulation of cell division, growth and survival. They are activated by phosphorylation of the Thr- and the Tyr- residues in their Thr-Glu-Tyr activation loops. The dogma is that ... -
Multidisciplinary interventions in a specialist Drug Development Unit to improve family history documentation and onward referral of patients with advanced cancer to cancer genetics services.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-06-01)BACKGROUND: Molecular aberrations in cancer may represent therapeutic targets, and, if arising from the germline, may impact further cancer risk management in patients and their blood relatives. Annually, 600-700 patients ... -
