Defining the role of SF3B1K700E mutations in ER+ breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
Mutations in SF3B1, a component of the RNA splicing machinery, underpin a number of aggressive cancers. Hotspot mutations in SF3B1 are present in around 3% of breast cancers, are enriched in oestrogen receptor positive ...
Late recurrence in ER+ breast cancer - refining risk prediction beyond 5 years
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
ER positive (ER+) breast cancer has the potential to recur many years following diagnosis. Predicting who is most at risk of recurrence and when this may occur is complex. Risk prediction incorporates clinical, pathological ...
Abemaciclib as initial therapy for advanced breast cancer: MONARCH 3 updated results in prognostic subgroups.
(2021-06-22)
In MONARCH 3, continuous dosing of abemaciclib with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) conferred significant clinical benefit to postmenopausal women with HR+, HER2- advanced breast cancer. We report data for clinically prognostic ...
Investigating a range of late effects of Hodgkin lymphoma treatments
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)
Dramatic improvement in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survival rates over recent decades has come at significant cost: treatment-related late effects which are epitomised in female HL patients treated at young ages. The aims of ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparative performance of lung cancer risk models to define lung screening eligibility in the United Kingdom.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-06-08)
BACKGROUND: The National Health Service England (NHS) classifies individuals as eligible for lung cancer screening using two risk prediction models, PLCOm2012 and Liverpool Lung Project-v2 (LLPv2). However, no study has ...
Cross-species identification of PIP5K1-, splicing- and ubiquitin-related pathways as potential targets for RB1-deficient cells.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2021-02-16)
The RB1 tumor suppressor is recurrently mutated in a variety of cancers including retinoblastomas, small cell lung cancers, triple-negative breast cancers, prostate cancers, and osteosarcomas. Finding new synthetic lethal ...
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)
To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ...
