The histology of ovarian cancer: worldwide distribution and implications for international survival comparisons (CONCORD-2).
(2017-02)
Objective Ovarian cancers comprise several histologically distinct tumour groups with widely different prognosis. We aimed to describe the worldwide distribution of ovarian cancer histology and to understand what role this ...
Bilateral mammoplasty for cancer: Surgical, oncological and patient-reported outcomes.
(2017-01)
Introduction Bilateral mammoplasty (BM) can optimise oncological safety and aesthetic outcomes in women with large or ptotic breasts whose tumour to breast volume ratio or tumour location pose a challenge to standard ...
The use of ultrasound in the clinical re-staging of the axilla after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).
(2017-10)
Introduction Ultrasound (US) is the imaging modality of choice for staging the axilla prior to surgery in patients with breast cancer (BC). High pathological complete response rates in the axilla after NACT mean a more ...
Sorafenib dose escalation in treatment-naïve patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: a non-randomised, open-label, Phase 2b study.
(2017-06)
Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of sorafenib dose escalation in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).Patients and methods Intra-patient dose escalation may enhance the clinical benefit of targeted anticancer ...
Standard wide local excision or bilateral reduction mammoplasty in large-breasted women with small tumours: Surgical and patient-reported outcomes.
(2017-04)
Introduction Oncoplastic breast surgery is used to extend the role of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) to women with an unfavourable tumour to breast volume ratio. However, large-breasted women with a relatively small breast ...
HRDetect is a predictor of BRCA1 and BRCA2 deficiency based on mutational signatures.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-04-01)
Approximately 1-5% of breast cancers are attributed to inherited mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are selectively sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. In other cancer types, germline and/or somatic ...
Transcriptome and proteome analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium systemic infection of wild type and immune-deficient mice.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-08-10)
Salmonella enterica are a threat to public health. Current vaccines are not fully effective. The ability to grow in infected tissues within phagocytes is required for S. enterica virulence in systemic disease. As the ...
Evolution of complexity in the zebrafish synapse proteome.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-02)
The proteome of human brain synapses is highly complex and is mutated in over 130 diseases. This complexity arose from two whole-genome duplications early in the vertebrate lineage. Zebrafish are used in modelling human ...
A Knockout Screen of ApiAP2 Genes Reveals Networks of Interacting Transcriptional Regulators Controlling the Plasmodium Life Cycle.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-01-11)
A family of apicomplexa-specific proteins containing AP2 DNA-binding domains (ApiAP2s) was identified in malaria parasites. This family includes sequence-specific transcription factors that are key regulators of development. ...
