(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-02-28)Recent advances in the treatment of advanced NSCLC include introduction of targeted therapies and immune-checkpoint inhibitors, leading to improvements in survival outcomes. However, significant new challenges and questions ... -
Local therapeutic approaches for the management of recurrent gynaecological cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-02-28)Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy combinations are used to treat recurrent gynaecological malignancy. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivered to the involved surgical margin could improve clinical outcomes ... -
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of colorectal cancer in Denmark.
<h4>Introduction</h4>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact on cancer care but the extent to which this has affected the management of colorectal cancer (CRC) in different countries is unknown. CRC management in ... -
Determinants of anti-PD-1 response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-11-08)ADAPTeR is a prospective, phase II study of nivolumab (anti-PD-1) in 15 treatment-naive patients (115 multiregion tumor samples) with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) aiming to understand the mechanism ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of a urology specialist therapeutic radiographer implemented radiotherapy pathway for prostate cancer patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-04-15)INTRODUCTION: The role of the Urology Specialist Therapeutic Radiographer (USTR) was introduced to support a busy NHS uro-oncology practice. Key objectives were to improve patient preparedness for and experience of ... -
