Evolutionary dynamics of neoantigens in growing tumors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-10-01)Cancers accumulate mutations that lead to neoantigens, novel peptides that elicit an immune response, and consequently undergo evolutionary selection. Here we establish how negative selection shapes the clonality of ... -
Exploiting induced pluripotent stem cell-derived macrophages to unravel host factors influencing Chlamydia trachomatis pathogenesis.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-25)Chlamydia trachomatis remains a leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections and preventable blindness worldwide. There are, however, limited in vitro models to study the role of host genetics in the response ... -
Factors affecting accuracy and precision in ultrasound guided radiotherapy.
<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is used clinically for directly assessing prostate motion. Factors affecting accuracy and precision in TPUS motion estimation must be assessed to realise its ... -
Factors shaping the implementation and use of Clinical Cancer Decision Tools by GPs in primary care: a qualitative framework synthesis.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-02-19)OBJECTIVE: Clinical Cancer Decision Tools (CCDTs) aim to alert general practitioners (GPs) to signs and symptoms of cancer, supporting prompt investigation and onward referral. CCDTs are available in primary care in the ... -
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-03-01)Given the global burden of diarrheal diseases on healthcare it is surprising how little is known about the drivers of disease severity. Colitis caused by infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterised by ... -
False Positive Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging Phenotypes in the Biopsy-naïve Prostate: Are They Distinct from Significant Cancer-associated Lesions? Lessons from PROMIS.
Background False positive multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) phenotypes prompt unnecessary biopsies. The Prostate MRI Imaging Study (PROMIS) provides a unique opportunity to explore such phenotypes in ... -
Fast, Quantitative and Variant Enabled Mapping of Peptides to Genomes.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-08-23)Current tools for visualization and integration of proteomics with other omics datasets are inadequate for large-scale studies and capture only basic sequence identity information. Furthermore, the frequent reformatting ... -
Fate of the metabolically healthy obese-is this term a misnomer? A study from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink.
(2019-05)INTRODUCTION:The metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype may express typical characteristics on long-term follow-up. Little is known about the initiation of this phenotypes and its future stability. AIM:The Clinical ... -
Female leadership in oncology-has progress stalled? Data from the ESMO W4O authorship and monitoring studies.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-12-01)BACKGROUND: Exploratory research showed that female oncologists are frequently under-represented in leadership roles. European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Women for Oncology (W4O) therefore implemented gender ... -
Fiducial marker based intra-fraction motion assessment on cine-MR for MR-linac treatment of prostate cancer.
(2019-04-04)We have developed a method to determine intrafraction motion of the prostate through automatic fiducial marker (FM) tracking on 3D cine-magnetic resonance (MR) images with high spatial and temporal resolution. Twenty-nine ... -
First-line PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer: summary of an <i>ESMO Open - Cancer Horizons</i> round-table discussion.
(2020-11)Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy is the latest breakthrough in the management of newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. The results of the SOLO-1 trial in 2018 led to European Medicines ... -
Follicular thyroid carcinoma presenting with pathological fracture of the humerus at initial diagnosis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-01-19)Differentiated carcinomas of the thyroid gland usually have a good prognosis with prognosis often discussed in terms of 20 year survival. Nevertheless its 10-year-survival rate decreases when accompanied by distant metastasis. ... -

Frequency and risk factors for major complications after stereotactic radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors in 1235 ablation sessions: a 15-year experience.
(SPRINGER, 2021-05-01)OBJECTIVES: To assess the frequency of major complications after multi-probe stereotactic radiofrequency ablation (SRFA) in a large cohort of patients over 15 years and to elucidate risk factors for adverse events. MATERIALS ... -
From presentation to paper: Gender disparities in oncological research.
(WILEY, 2020-06-01)Gender disparities in scientific publications have been identified in oncological research. Oral research presentations at major conferences enhance visibility of presenters. The share of women presenting at such podia is ... -
Functional characterisation of EGFR mutations in cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-08-31)Large-scale pan-cancer sequencing of tumour samples has identified a plethora of epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutations along the full length of the gene. However, clinical studies have demonstrated that distinct mutations ... -
Functional characterization of E- and P-cadherin in invasive breast cancer cells
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2009-03-03)Background: Alterations in the cadherin-catenin adhesion complexes are involved in tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. However, the functional implication of distinct cadherin types in breast cancer biology is ... -
A functional interaction between liprin-α1 and B56γ regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2A supports tumor cell motility.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-28)Scaffold liprin-α1 is required to assemble dynamic plasma membrane-associated platforms (PMAPs) at the front of migrating breast cancer cells, to promote protrusion and invasion. We show that the N-terminal region of ...
