Treatment and prognosis of leptomeningeal disease secondary to metastatic breast cancer: A single-centre experience.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2017-12-01)PURPOSE: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is an uncommon complication of advanced breast cancer. The prognosis is poor, and although radiotherapy (RT), systemic and intra-thecal (IT) chemotherapy are accepted treatment modalities, ... -
Treatment effect of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy by prognostic and intrinsic subtype and biomarker analysis in patients with bone-only disease: a joint analysis of PALOMA-2 and PALOMA-3 clinical trials.
(SPRINGER, 2020-11-01)PURPOSE: This analysis evaluated the relationship between treatment-free interval (TFI, in PALOMA-2)/disease-free interval (DFI, in PALOMA-3) and progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS, in PALOMA-3), ... -
Triplet combination of palbociclib, taselisib and fulvestrant and biomarkers for CDK4/6 and PI3-kinase inhibition in breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)Targeting the commonly upregulated cell-cycle and PI3-kinase pathway in breast cancer are two of the most novel approaches to tackle the disease, with both strategies having led to clinically meaningful results and licensed ... -

Tumor PIK3CA Genotype and Prognosis in Early-Stage Breast Cancer: A Pooled Analysis of Individual Patient Data.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-04-01)Purpose Phosphatidylinositol-4, 5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha ( PIK3CA) mutations are frequently observed in primary breast cancer. We evaluated their prognostic relevance by performing a pooled analysis ... -
Tumour cell-derived Wnt7a recruits and activates fibroblasts to promote tumour aggressiveness.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-01-18)Stromal fibroblast recruitment to tumours and activation to a cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) phenotype has been implicated in promoting primary tumour growth and progression to metastatic disease. However, the mechanisms ... -
Tumour kinome re-wiring governs resistance to palbociclib in oestrogen receptor positive breast cancers, highlighting new therapeutic modalities.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-06-18)Combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors and endocrine therapy improves clinical outcome in advanced oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, however relapse is inevitable. Here, we show in model systems that other than ... -
Two truncating variants in FANCC and breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-08-29)Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder with 22 disease-causing genes reported to date. In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk ... -
Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of necroptosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)Regulated cell death is a fundamental cellular process that is critical for the development and survival of multicellular organisms. Cell death and inflammation are essential to restore tissue homeostasis following tissue ... -
Ubiquitin-Mediated Regulation of RIPK1 Kinase Activity Independent of IKK and MK2.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-02-15)Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can drive inflammation, cell survival, and death. While ubiquitylation-, phosphorylation-, and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-dependent checkpoints suppress the cytotoxic potential of TNF, it remains ... -
Ubiquitylation of MLKL at lysine 219 positively regulates necroptosis-induced tissue injury and pathogen clearance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-07)Necroptosis is a lytic, inflammatory form of cell death that not only contributes to pathogen clearance but can also lead to disease pathogenesis. Necroptosis is triggered by RIPK3-mediated phosphorylation of MLKL, which ... -
Ultra-Sensitive Mutation Detection and Genome-Wide DNA Copy Number Reconstruction by Error-Corrected Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-08-27)BACKGROUND: Circulating free DNA sequencing (cfDNA-Seq) can portray cancer genome landscapes, but highly sensitive and specific technologies are necessary to accurately detect mutations with often low variant frequencies. ... -
Ultrasound Tomography Evaluation of Breast Density: A Comparison With Noncontrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-06-01)OBJECTIVES: Ultrasound tomography (UST) is an emerging whole-breast 3-dimensional imaging technique that obtains quantitative tomograms of speed of sound of the entire breast. The imaged parameter is the speed of sound ... -
Understanding and overcoming tumor heterogeneity in metastatic breast cancer treatment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-07-19)Rational development of targeted therapies has revolutionized metastatic breast cancer outcomes, although resistance to treatment remains a major challenge. Advances in molecular profiling and imaging technologies have ... -
