Rare non-epithelial ovarian neoplasms: Pathology, genetics and treatment.
(2016-07)
Rare non-epithelial ovarian neoplasms have posed management challenges for many years. Their rarity means that most specialist practitioners will see one such case every several years, and most generalists may never see a ...
The role of lifestyle characteristics on prostate cancer progression in two active surveillance cohorts.
(2016-09)
Background Although much research has examined the relationship between lifestyle and prostate cancer (PCa) risk, few studies focus on the relationship between lifestyle and PCa progression. The present study examines this ...
The safety and efficacy of radium-223 dichloride for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer.
(2016-09)
Introduction A number of drugs have been shown to extend life expectancy in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Skeletal related events (SREs) secondary to bone metastases cause significant morbidity for men with ...
Differential effects of lenalidomide during plasma cell differentiation.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-05-10)
Thalidomide, lenalidomide and pomalidomide have greatly improved the outcome of patients with multiple myeloma. However, their effects on plasma cells, the healthy counterpart of myeloma cells, are unknown. Here, we ...
Landscape of somatic mutations in 560 breast cancer whole-genome sequences.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-06-02)
We analysed whole-genome sequences of 560 breast cancers to advance understanding of the driver mutations conferring clonal advantage and the mutational processes generating somatic mutations. We found that 93 protein-coding ...
Insertion of the Biogenesis Factor Rei1 Probes the Ribosomal Tunnel during 60S Maturation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-01-14)
Eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis depends on several hundred assembly factors to produce functional 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits. The final phase of 60S subunit biogenesis is cytoplasmic maturation, which includes the ...
Targeting folate receptor alpha for cancer treatment.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-08-09)
Promising targeted treatments and immunotherapy strategies in oncology and advancements in our understanding of molecular pathways that underpin cancer development have reignited interest in the tumor-associated antigen ...
Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2β regulates a novel signaling pathway involved in breast cancer progression.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-04-05)
It is now well established that the enzymes phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) have a key role in the development and progression of many cancer types and indeed PI3Ks inhibitors are currently being tested in clinical ...
Tandem duplications contribute to not one but two distinct phenotypes.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2016-09-06)
Identification of neutral tumor evolution across cancer types.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-03-01)
Despite extraordinary efforts to profile cancer genomes, interpreting the vast amount of genomic data in the light of cancer evolution remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that neutral tumor evolution results in a ...
