Long-Term Pooled Safety Analysis of Palbociclib in Combination with Endocrine Therapy for Hormone Receptor-Positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer: Updated Analysis with up to 5 Years of Follow-Up.
(WILEY, 2021-03-10)BACKGROUND: Previous studies demonstrated the tolerability of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET). This analysis evaluated safety based on more recent cutoff dates and a longer palbociclib treatment exposure. PATIENTS ... -
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 ... -
Comparative validation of the BOADICEA and Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk models incorporating classical risk factors and polygenic risk in a population-based prospective cohort of women of European ancestry.
(BMC, 2021-02-15)BACKGROUND: The Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm (BOADICEA) and the Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk prediction models are commonly used in clinical practice and have recently ... -
3D Functional Genomics Screens Identify CREBBP as a Targetable Driver in Aggressive Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-02-15)Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are resistant to standard-of-care chemotherapy and lack known targetable driver gene alterations. Identification of novel drivers could aid the discovery of new treatment strategies ... -
Adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients: The CAPTURE study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-03-01) -
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 ... -
Intraductal xenografts show lobular carcinoma cells rely on their own extracellular matrix and LOXL1.
(WILEY, 2021-03-05)Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the most frequent special histological subtype of breast cancer, typically characterized by loss of E-cadherin. It has clinical features distinct from other estrogen receptor-positive ... -
Proteomics of REPLICANT perfusate detects changes in the metastatic lymph node microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-05)In breast cancer (BC), detecting low volumes of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis pre-operatively is difficult and novel biomarkers are needed. We recently showed that patient-derived ALNs can be sustained ex-vivo using ... -
Immunotherapy in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer: Young International Society of Geriatric Oncology position paper.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-09-15)Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors against programmed cell death receptor (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand (PD-L1) has been implemented in the treatment pathway of patients with non-small cell lung cancer ... -
Systemic Therapy of Common Tumours in Older Patients: Challenges and Opportunities. A Young International Society of Geriatric Oncology Review Paper.
(SPRINGER, 2020-07-28)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Decision-making for systemic treatments in older patients with cancer is difficult because of concerns for decreased organ function, risk of toxicity, limited life expectancy due to comorbidities and the ... -
Biological aspects of aging that influence response to anticancer treatments.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-03-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cancer is a disease of older adults, where fitness and frailty are a continuum. This aspect poses unique challenges to the management of cancer in this population. In this article, we review the biological ... -
Embracing the complexity: Older adults with cancer-related cognitive decline-A Young International Society of Geriatric Oncology position paper.
