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.
(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 UK ... -
Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity.
(2020-03)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 ... -
Farnesyl thiosalicylic acid inhibits the growth of melanoma cells through a combination of cytostatic and pro-apoptotic effects
(2002-04-01)Novel classes of drug that interfere with the signalling of the small G-protein Ras, the so-called Ras antagonists, are showing much promise as novel anti-cancer agents. In this study, we demonstrate that the novel Ras ... -
Farnesyl transferase inhibitor SCH66336 is cytostatic, pro-apoptotic and enhances chemosensitivity to cisplatin in melanoma cells
(2003-06-10)The constitutive activity of a number of growth and cell survival pathways are thought to contribute to the inherent resistance of melanoma to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Many of these pathways are driven through the ... -
Fast, Quantitative and Variant Enabled Mapping of Peptides to Genomes.
(2017-08)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.
<h4>Background</h4>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 ... -
Folate Receptor beta as a Potential Delivery Route for Novel Folate Antagonists to Macrophages in the Synovial Tissue of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
(WILEY, 2009-01)Objective. To determine the expression of folate receptor beta (FR beta) in synovial biopsy tissues and peripheral blood lymphocytes from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and to identify novel folate antagonists that are ... -
Follow-up after treatment for head and neck cancer: United Kingdom National Multidisciplinary Guidelines.
This is the official guideline endorsed by the specialty associations involved in the care of head and neck cancer patients in the UK. In the absence of high-level evidence base for follow-up practices, the duration and ... -
Frat is dispensable for canonical Wnt signaling in mammals
(2005-02-15)Wnt-signal transduction through beta-catenin is thought to require the inhibition of GSK3 by Frat/GBP. To investigate the role of Frat in mammalian development, we have generated mice with targeted mutations in all three ... -

From presentation to paper: Gender disparities in oncological research.
(2020-06)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 and quality of life outcomes following obstetric anal sphincter injury (OASI): does the grade of injury affect outcomes?
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2017-11) -
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 ...
