A decade of clinical development of PARP inhibitors in perspective.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-09-01)
Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer, and often is the result of altered DNA repair capacities in tumour cells. DNA damage repair defects are common in different cancer types; these alterations can also induce ...
Comparison of BEAMing and Droplet Digital PCR for Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis.
(AMER ASSOC CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, 2019-11-01)
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) assays are increasingly used for clinical decision-making, but it is unknown how well different assays agree. We aimed to assess the agreement in ctDNA mutation calling between ...
Evaluation of Cancer-Based Criteria for Use in Mainstream BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Testing in Patients With Breast Cancer.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2019-05-03)
IMPORTANCE: Increasing BRCA1 and BRCA2 (collectively termed herein as BRCA) gene testing is required to improve cancer management and prevent BRCA-related cancers. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate mainstream genetic testing using ...
A case-only study to identify genetic modifiers of breast cancer risk for BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-02-17)
Breast cancer (BC) risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers varies by genetic and familial factors. About 50 common variants have been shown to modify BC risk for mutation carriers. All but three, were identified in ...
High p16 expression and heterozygous RB1 loss are biomarkers for CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance in ER+ breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-07)
CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy have demonstrated higher antitumor activity than endocrine therapy alone for the treatment of advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Some of these tumors are ...
Genome-wide association study meta-analysis identifies three novel loci for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone levels in women.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-05-03)
STUDY QUESTION: Can additional genetic variants for circulating anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels be identified through a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis including a large sample of premenopausal women? ...
Updated recommendations regarding the management of older patients with breast cancer: a joint paper from the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-07-01)
Breast cancer is increasingly prevalent in older adults and is a substantial part of routine oncology practice. However, management of breast cancer in this population is challenging because the disease is highly heterogeneous ...
Impact of the menstrual cycle on commercial prognostic gene signatures in oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-01)
PURPOSE: Changes occur in the expression of oestrogen-regulated and proliferation-associated genes in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours during the menstrual cycle. We investigated if Oncotype® DX recurrence ...
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and endocrine resistance in hormone-dependent breast cancer.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2022-08-01)
Endocrine therapies are the main treatment strategies for the clinical management of hormone-dependent breast cancer. Despite prolonged time to recurrence in the adjuvant setting and the initial clinical responses in the ...
Abiraterone shows alternate activity in models of endocrine resistant and sensitive disease.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Resistance to endocrine therapy remains a major clinical problem in the treatment of oestrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Studies show androgen-receptor (AR) remains present in 80-90% of metastatic ...
