Optimal acquisition scheme for flow-compensated intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging in the abdomen: An accurate and precise clinically feasible protocol.
(WILEY, 2020-03-01)PURPOSE: Flow-compensated (FC) diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) for intravoxel-incoherent motion (IVIM) modeling allows for a more detailed description of tissue microvasculature than conventional IVIM. The long acquisition ... -
Optimising head and neck radiotherapy treatment using adaptive radiotherapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-10-31)Radiotherapy delivery in head and neck cancer (HNC) has dramatically improved recently with the introduction of advanced techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiation therapy ... -
Origin licensing requires ATP binding and hydrolysis by the MCM replicative helicase.
(CELL PRESS, 2014-09-04)Loading of the six related Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) proteins as head-to-head double hexamers during DNA replication origin licensing is crucial for ensuring once-per-cell-cycle DNA replication in eukaryotic cells. ... -
Outcomes in biomarker-selected subgroups from the KESTREL study of durvalumab and tremelimumab in recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
(SPRINGER, 2024-03-02)BACKGROUND: Selective biomarkers may improve outcomes in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. We investigated three ... -
OX40 and 4-1BB delineate distinct immune profiles in sarcoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2022-12-31)Systemic relapse after radiotherapy and surgery is the major cause of disease-related mortality in sarcoma patients. Combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy is under investigation as a means to improve response rates. ... -
Paracrine signalling during ZEB1-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition augments local myofibroblast differentiation in lung fibrosis.
(2019-05)The contribution of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to human lung fibrogenesis is controversial. Here we provide evidence that ZEB1-mediated EMT in human alveolar epithelial type II (ATII) cells contributes to the ... -
PARK2 Depletion Connects Energy and Oxidative Stress to PI3K/Akt Activation via PTEN S-Nitrosylation.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-03-16)PARK2 is a gene implicated in disease states with opposing responses in cell fate determination, yet its contribution in pro-survival signaling is largely unknown. Here we show that PARK2 is altered in over a third of all ... -
PARK2 loss promotes cancer progression via redox-mediated inactivation of PTEN.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2017-01-01)Cancer and Parkinson disease (PD) derive from distinct alterations in cellular processes, yet there are pathogenic mutations that are unequivocally linked to both diseases. Here we expand on our recent findings that loss ... -
Pathway choice in the alternative telomere lengthening in neoplasia is dictated by replication fork processing mediated by EXD2's nuclease activity.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-04-27)Telomerase-independent cancer proliferation via the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) relies upon two distinct, largely uncharacterized, break-induced-replication (BIR) processes. How cancer cells initiate and ... -
Patient-reported outcomes with nivolumab in advanced solid cancers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-11-01)Patients with recurrent or metastatic cancer commonly suffer from debilitating toxicity associated with conventional treatment modalities, as well as disease-related symptoms, often with a concomitant negative impact on ... -
PATRIOT: A phase I study to assess the tolerability, safety and biological effects of a specific ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) inhibitor (AZD6738) as a single agent and in combination with palliative radiation therapy in patients with solid tumours.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018-08-01)PATRIOT is a phase I study of the ATR inhibitor, AZD6738, as monotherapy, and in combination with palliative radiotherapy. Here, we describe the protocol for this study, which opened in 2014 and is currently recruiting and ... -
Patritumab or placebo, with cetuximab plus platinum therapy in recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: A randomised phase II study.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-12-01)BACKGROUND: The fully human monoclonal antibody patritumab blocks HER3 activation, a resistance mechanism to cetuximab, induced by heregulin (HRG). A phase Ib study in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma ... -
Patritumab with Cetuximab plus Platinum-Containing Therapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: An Open-Label, Phase Ib Study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-15)PURPOSE: Patritumab plus cetuximab with platinum as first-line therapy for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) was evaluated for safety and to determine the ... -
Patterns of Care, Tolerability, and Safety of the First Cohort of Patients Treated on a Novel High-Field MR-Linac Within the MOMENTUM Study: Initial Results From a Prospective Multi-Institutional Registry.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-11-15)PURPOSE: High-field magnetic resonance-linear accelerators (MR-Linacs), linear accelerators combined with a diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner and online adaptive workflow, potentially give rise to novel ... -
Pazopanib, a promising option for the treatment of aggressive fibromatosis.
(2017-04)Desmoid tumour/aggressive fibromatosis (DT/AF) is a rare soft-tissue neoplasm that is locally aggressive but does not metastasize. There is no standard systemic treatment for symptomatic patients, although a number of ... -
PBAF loss leads to DNA damage-induced inflammatory signaling through defective G2/M checkpoint maintenance.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2022-07-28)The PBRM1 subunit of the PBAF (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is mutated in ∼40% of clear cell renal cancers. PBRM1 loss has been implicated in responses to immunotherapy in renal cancer, but the mechanism is unclear. ... -
