"The Longest Way Round Is The Shortest Way Home": An Overhaul of Surgical Ward Rounds.
(SPRINGER, 2018-04-01)BACKGROUND: Ward rounds, a keystone of hospital surgical practice, have recently been under the spotlight. Poor-quality ward rounds can lead to a greater number of adverse events, thereby cascading to an increased financial ... -
Longitudinal cohort analysis of patients with metastatic penile cancer treated in a large quaternary academic centre

Loss of Bardet-Biedl syndrome proteins causes synaptic aberrations in principal neurons.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-09-01)Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS), a ciliopathy, is a rare genetic condition characterised by retinal degeneration, obesity, kidney failure, and cognitive impairment. In spite of progress made in our general understanding of BBS ... -
Loss of P16(INK4a) results in increased glucocorticoid receptor activity during fibrosarcoma development
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2003-03-18)‘Glucocorticoids inhibit proliferation of many cell types, but the relationship between the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and the proteins regulating cell cycle progression is not fully understood. We previously found that ... -
Low-grade serous ovarian cancer: expert consensus report on the state of the science.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2023-09-04)Compared with high-grade serous carcinoma, low-grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum is a less frequent epithelial ovarian cancer type that is poorly sensitive to chemotherapy and affects younger women, many ... -
Low-risk Prostate Cancer: Identification, Management, and Outcomes.
(2017-08)Context The incidence of low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) has increased as a consequence of prostate-specific antigen testing.Objective In this collaborative review article, we examine recent literature regarding low-risk ... -
LUBAC determines chemotherapy resistance in squamous cell lung cancer.
(ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS, 2019-02-04)Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and adenocarcinoma (LADC) are the most common lung cancer subtypes. Molecular targeted treatments have improved LADC patient survival but are largely ineffective in LSCC. The tumor ... -
Magnetic resonance linear accelerator technology and adaptive radiation therapy: An overview for clinicians.
Radiation therapy (RT) continues to play an important role in the treatment of cancer. Adaptive RT (ART) is a novel method through which RT treatments are evolving. With the ART approach, computed tomography or magnetic ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS)-Based Methods for Examining Cancer Metabolism in Response to Oncogenic Kinase Drug Treatment.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2017-01-01)Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is an analytical technique that has been extensively used to examine reprogrammed metabolism and treatment response in cancer cells and solid tumors both in vivo and ex vivo. High-resolution ... -
Maintenance treatment with rucaparib for recurrent ovarian carcinoma in ARIEL3, a randomized phase 3 trial: The effects of best response to last platinum-based regimen and disease at baseline on efficacy and safety.
Background The efficacy and safety of rucaparib maintenance treatment in ARIEL3 were evaluated in subgroups based on best response to most recent platinum-based chemotherapy and baseline disease. Methods Patients were ... -
Many private mutations originate from the first few divisions of a human colorectal adenoma.
(WILEY, 2015-11-01)Intratumoural mutational heterogeneity (ITH) or the presence of different private mutations in different parts of the same tumour is commonly observed in human tumours. The mechanisms generating such ITH are uncertain. ... -
Marker-less online MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy of liver metastases at a 1.5 T MR-Linac - Feasibility, workflow data and patient acceptance.
Introduction Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an established ablative treatment for liver tumors with excellent local control rates. Magnetic resonance imaging guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) provides superior soft ... -
Markers predictive of response, resistance and relapse in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-05-31)Response to neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer varies. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a surrogate marker of the tumour genome. I hypothesised that ctDNA could be an early ... -
Marrow-Infiltrating Regulatory T Cells Correlate with the Presence of Dysfunctional CD4+PD-1+ Cells and Inferior Survival in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-07-01)PURPOSE: Immune dysregulation is described in multiple myeloma. While preclinical models suggest a role for altered T-cell immunity in disease progression, the contribution of immune dysfunction to clinical outcomes remains ... -
MDC1 Interacts with TOPBP1 to Maintain Chromosomal Stability during Mitosis.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-05-02)In mitosis, cells inactivate DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways to preserve genome stability. However, some early signaling events still occur, such as recruitment of the scaffold protein MDC1 to phosphorylated ... -
Measuring cancer evolution from the genome.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2017-01-01)The temporal dynamics of cancer evolution remain elusive, because it is impractical to longitudinally observe cancers unperturbed by treatment. Consequently, our knowledge of how cancers grow largely derives from inferences ... -
Measuring Clonal Evolution in Cancer with Genomics.
(ANNUAL REVIEWS, 2019-08-31)Cancers originate from somatic cells in the human body that have accumulated genetic alterations. These mutations modify the phenotype of the cells, allowing them to escape the homeostatic regulation that maintains normal ... -
Measuring the distribution of fitness effects in somatic evolution by combining clonal dynamics with dN/dS ratios.
(ELIFE SCIENCES PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-03-30)The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) defines how new mutations spread through an evolving population. The ratio of non-synonymous to synonymous mutations (dN/dS) has become a popular method to detect selection in ... -
Measuring tumour evolution at the genetic and epigenetic level in individual patients from cancer genomic data
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)High-throughput genomic data from cancers uncovered high intra and inter-tumour heterogeneity and subclonal architecture of cancer cell populations. If we consider cells as asexually reproducing individuals, we can apply ...
