International Survey on Frailty Assessment in Patients with Cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-10-01)BACKGROUND: Frailty negatively affects the outcomes of patients with cancer, and its assessment might vary widely in the real world. The objective of this study was to explore awareness and use of frailty screening tools ... -
Oncology-Led Early Identification of Nutritional Risk: A Pragmatic, Evidence-Based Protocol (PRONTO).
(MDPI, 2023-01-06)Nutritional issues, including malnutrition, low muscle mass, sarcopenia (i.e., low muscle mass and strength), and cachexia (i.e., weight loss characterized by a continuous decline in skeletal muscle mass, with or without ... -
Geriatric Oncology as an Unmet Workforce Training Need in the United Kingdom-A Narrative Review by the British Oncology Network for Undergraduate Societies (BONUS) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) UK Country Group.
(MDPI, 2023-09-28)Cancer is a disease associated with ageing. Managing cancer in older adults may prove challenging owing to pre-existing frailty, comorbidity, and wider holistic needs, as well as the unclear benefits and harms of standard ... -
Bridging The Age Gap: observational cohort study of effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab on recurrence, survival and quality of life in older women with early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-07-20)BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy improves outcomes for high risk early breast cancer (EBC) patients but is infrequently offered to older individuals. This study determined if there are fit older patients with high-risk disease who ... -
Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Potentially Curable Malignancies: A National Registry Dataset Analysis.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-06-01)BACKGROUND: Although a common challenge for patients and clinicians, there is little population-level evidence on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals diagnosed with potentially curable cancer. ... -
Chemotherapy and gene expression profiling in older early luminal breast cancer patients: An International Society of Geriatric Oncology systematic review.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-09-01)BACKGROUND: The benefit of chemotherapy for older patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer (EBC) is a key area of debate. Gene expression ... -
Comparison of Circulating Tumor DNA Assays for Molecular Residual Disease Detection in Early-Stage Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients who have completed treatment for early-stage breast cancer is associated with a high risk of relapse, yet the optimal assay for ctDNA detection is unknown. ... -
Longitudinal profiling identifies co-occurring BRCA1/2 reversions, TP53BP1, RIF1 and PAXIP1 mutations in PARP inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer.
(Elsevier BV, 2024-01-19)BACKGROUND: Resistance to therapies that target homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in breast cancer limits their overall effectiveness. Multiple, preclinically validated, mechanisms of resistance have been proposed, ... -
First-Line Ipatasertib, Atezolizumab, and Taxane Triplet for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Clinical and Biomarker Results.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: To evaluate a triplet regimen combining immune checkpoint blockade, AKT pathway inhibition, and (nab-) paclitaxel as first-line therapy for locally advanced/metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). PATIENTS ... -
Cancer Evolution: A Multifaceted Affair.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2024-01-12)UNLABELLED: Cancer cells adapt and survive through the acquisition and selection of molecular modifications. This process defines cancer evolution. Building on a theoretical framework based on heritable genetic changes has ... -
Therapy-induced normal tissue damage promotes breast cancer metastasis.
(CELL PRESS, 2024-01-19)Disseminated tumor cells frequently exhibit a period of dormancy, rendering them chemotherapy insensitive; conversely, the systemic delivery of chemotherapies can result in normal tissue damage. Using multiple mouse and ... -
Genomic profiling and pre-clinical modelling of breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasis reveals acquisition of a lobular-like phenotype.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-11-16)Breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasis (BCLM), where tumour cells grow along the lining of the brain and spinal cord, is a devastating development for patients. Investigating this metastatic site is hampered by difficulty ... -
Phase Ia/b Study of Giredestrant ± Palbociclib and ± Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone Agonists in Estrogen Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative, Locally Advanced/Metastatic Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2024-02-16)PURPOSE: Giredestrant is an investigational next-generation, oral, selective estrogen receptor antagonist and degrader for the treatment of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer. We present the primary analysis ... -
Characterising transcriptomic and immune heterogeneity in aggressive invasive lobular breast cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-01-16)Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer (BC) accounting for 10-15% of all BCs. It is a unique disease entity with distinct histological appearances, molecular ... -
Cancer-associated FBXW7 loss is synthetic lethal with pharmacological targeting of CDC7.
(WILEY, 2023-10-22)The F-box and WD repeat domain containing 7 (FBXW7) tumour suppressor gene encodes a substrate-recognition subunit of Skp, cullin, F-box (SCF)-containing complexes. The tumour-suppressive role of FBXW7 is ascribed to its ... -
Targeting myeloid chemotaxis to reverse prostate cancer therapy resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-11-30)Inflammation is a hallmark of cancer1. In patients with cancer, peripheral blood myeloid expansion, indicated by a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, associates with shorter survival and treatment resistance across ... -
