Efficient [(18)F]AlF Radiolabeling of ZHER3:8698 Affibody Molecule for Imaging of HER3 Positive Tumors.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2016-08-17)
The human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) is overexpressed in several cancers, being linked to a more resistant phenotype and hence leading to poor patient prognosis. Imaging HER3 is challenging owing to the ...
Quality of treatment plans and accuracy of in vivo portal dosimetry in hybrid intensity-modulated radiation therapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy for prostate cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-08-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Delivering selected parts of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans using step-and-shoot intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) beams has the potential to increase plan quality by allowing ...
Synthesis and pre-clinical evaluation of a [F-18] fluoromethyl-tanaproget derivative for imaging of progesterone receptor expression
(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 2016-01-01)
<p>This work features the synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel fluorinated derivative of tanaproget and a carbon-11 labelled analogue, a high affinity non-steroidal PR ligand, as a possible candidate for imaging ...
Identification of ABC Transporter Interaction of a Novel Cyanoquinoline Radiotracer and Implications for Tumour Imaging by Positron Emission Tomography.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-08-23)
BACKGROUND: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in many cancers including lung, ovarian, breast, head and neck and brain. Mutation of this receptor has been shown to play a crucial role in the ...
Effect on Overall Survival of Locoregional Treatment in a Cohort of De Novo Metastatic Prostate Cancer Patients: A Single Institution Retrospective Analysis From the Royal Marsden Hospital.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2017-10-01)
BACKGROUND: The optimal management of the primary tumor in metastatic at diagnosis (M1) prostate cancer (PCa) patients is not yet established. We retrospectively evaluated the effect of locoregional treatment (LRT) on ...
Clinical Outcomes of Image Guided Adaptive Hypofractionated Weekly Radiation Therapy for Bladder Cancer in Patients Unsuitable for Radical Treatment.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-05-01)
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES: We report on the clinical outcomes of a phase 2 study assessing image guided hypofractionated weekly radiation therapy in bladder cancer patients unsuitable for radical treatment. METHODS AND ...
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 ...
Renal cancer biomarkers: the promise of personalized care
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2012-09-27)
Significant advances in our understanding of the biology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been achieved in recent years. These insights have led to the introduction of novel targeted therapies, revolutionising the ...
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 ...
Cancer genetics, precision prevention and a call to action.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-09-01)
More than 15 years have passed since the identification, through linkage, of 'first-wave' susceptibility genes for common cancers (BRCA1, BRCA2, MLH1 and MSH2). These genes have strong frequency-penetrance profiles, such ...
