Estrogen-regulated feedback loop limits the efficacy of estrogen receptor-targeted breast cancer therapy.
(2018-07-09)Endocrine therapy resistance invariably develops in advanced estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We have identified C-terminal SRC kinase (CSK) as a critical ... -
Chemosensitivity profiling of osteosarcoma tumour cell lines identifies a model of BRCAness.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-13)Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive sarcoma, where novel treatment approaches are required. Genomic studies suggest that a subset of OS, including OS tumour cell lines (TCLs), exhibit genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) ... -
The shieldin complex mediates 53BP1-dependent DNA repair.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-02)53BP1 is a chromatin-binding protein that regulates the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by suppressing the nucleolytic resection of DNA termini1,2. This function of 53BP1 requires interactions with PTIP3 and RIF14-9, ... -
Large-scale Analysis Demonstrates Familial Testicular Cancer to have Polygenic Aetiology.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-09-01)UNLABELLED: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Multiplex TGCT families have been well reported and analyses of population cancer registries have demonstrated a four- to eightfold ... -
LKB1 is required for hepatic bile acid transport and canalicular membrane integrity in mice.
(2011-02)LKB1 is a 'master' protein kinase implicated in the regulation of metabolism, cell proliferation, cell polarity and tumorigenesis. However, the long-term role of LKB1 in hepatic function is unknown. In the present study, ... -
Short-term presurgical treatment for all?

Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci.
(2017-11)Breast cancer risk is influenced by rare coding variants in susceptibility genes, such as BRCA1, and many common, mostly non-coding variants. However, much of the genetic contribution to breast cancer risk remains unknown. ... -
GDNF-RET signaling in ER-positive breast cancers is a key determinant of response and resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2013-06-15)Most breast cancers at diagnosis are estrogen receptor-positive (ER(+)) and depend on estrogen for growth and survival. Blocking estrogen biosynthesis by aromatase inhibitors has therefore become a first-line endocrine ... -
Assessment of the contribution of the IHC4+C score to decision making in clinical practice in early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2012-05-22)BACKGROUND: The immunohistochemical (IHC) 4+C score is a cost-effective prognostic tool that uses clinicopathologic factors and four standard IHC assays: oestrogen receptor (ER), PR, HER2 and Ki67. We assessed its utility ... -
Association of Body Mass Index and Age With Subsequent Breast Cancer Risk in Premenopausal Women.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2018-11-01)IMPORTANCE: The association between increasing body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) and risk of breast cancer is unique in cancer epidemiology in that a crossover ... -
Clinical considerations of the role of palbociclib in the management of advanced breast cancer patients with and without visceral metastases.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-03-01)BACKGROUND: This report assesses the efficacy and safety of palbociclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) in women with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC) ... -
Circulating Vitamin D and Colorectal Cancer Risk: An International Pooling Project of 17 Cohorts.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2019-02-01)BACKGROUND: Experimental and epidemiological studies suggest a protective role for vitamin D in colorectal carcinogenesis, but evidence is inconclusive. Circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations that minimize ... -
Cross-Stratification and Differential Risk by Breast Cancer Index and Recurrence Score in Women with Hormone Receptor-Positive Lymph Node-Negative Early-Stage Breast Cancer.
(2016-10)Purpose Previous results from the TransATAC study demonstrated that both the Breast Cancer Index (BCI) and the OncotypeDX Recurrence Score (RS) added significant prognostic information to clinicopathologic factors over a ... -
Predicting Relapse with Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis in Lung Cancer.
(2017-12)Advances in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis are revealing new treatment strategies for patients with cancer. Detection of residual disease with ctDNA analysis predicts relapse with high accuracy after treatment for ... -
Assessing HER2 Amplification in Plasma cfDNA.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-05-02)Digital PCR (dPCR) is a highly accurate method to determine DNA concentration. In dPCR, DNA is portioned into many discrete single entities, and these are analyzed individually for the presence or absence of a target ... -
The Spatiotemporal Evolution of Lymph Node Spread in Early Breast Cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-02-01)Purpose: The most significant prognostic factor in early breast cancer is lymph node involvement. This stage between localized and systemic disease is key to understanding breast cancer progression; however, our knowledge ... -
Identification of multiple risk loci and regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to multiple myeloma.
(2018-09-13)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. We report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis with previous ...
