(2020-02-13)
BACKGROUND:The aim of the study is to investigate how well patients remember the radiologist's name after a radiological examination, and whether giving the patient a business card improves the patient's perception of the ...
Transcriptomic analysis of human primary breast cancer identifies fatty acid oxidation as a target for metformin.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-01-21)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies suggest that metformin may reduce the incidence of cancer in patients with diabetes and multiple late phase clinical trials assessing the potential of repurposing this drug are underway. ...
The MOBSTER R package for tumour subclonal deconvolution from bulk DNA whole-genome sequencing data.
(BMC, 2020-11-17)
BACKGROUND: The large-scale availability of whole-genome sequencing profiles from bulk DNA sequencing of cancer tissues is fueling the application of evolutionary theory to cancer. From a bulk biopsy, subclonal deconvolution ...
A network analysis to identify mediators of germline-driven differences in breast cancer prognosis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-16)
Identifying the underlying genetic drivers of the heritability of breast cancer prognosis remains elusive. We adapt a network-based approach to handle underpowered complex datasets to provide new insights into the potential ...
