Phase III Soft Tissue Sarcoma Trials: Success or Failure?
(SPRINGER, 2017-03-01)Two recently reported phase III randomised control trials (RCTs) have resulted in the registration of two new systemic therapies for advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Both of these trials' designs were informed by phase II ... -
Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase/Akt Signaling and Redox Metabolism in Cancer.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-05-15)Metabolic rewiring and the consequent production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are necessary to promote tumorigenesis. At the nexus of these cellular processes is the aberrant regulation of oncogenic signaling cascades ... -
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells orchestrate innate and adaptive anti-tumor immunity induced by oncolytic coxsackievirus A21.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-01)BACKGROUND: The oncolytic virus, coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21), has shown promise as a single agent in several clinical trials and is now being tested in combination with immune checkpoint blockade. Combination therapies offer ... -
PLK1 Activation in Late G2 Sets Up Commitment to Mitosis.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-06-06)Commitment to mitosis must be tightly coordinated with DNA replication to preserve genome integrity. While we have previously established that the timely activation of CyclinB1-Cdk1 in late G2 triggers mitotic entry, the ... -
Poor treatment outcomes with palliative gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy in advanced and metastatic synovial sarcoma.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-08-20)The outcome for patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma remains poor with few treatment options. Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma, predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults. Following ... -
The Potency of a KRAS Silent Variant.

Potentiating Oncolytic Virus-Induced Immune-Mediated Tumor Cell Killing Using Histone Deacetylase Inhibition.
(CELL PRESS, 2019-06-05)A clinical oncolytic herpes simplex virus (HSV) encoding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), talimogene laherparepvec, causes regression of injected and non-injected melanoma lesions in patients and ... -
Practice patterns for the radical treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer by head and neck oncologists in the United Kingdom.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2018-05-01)OBJECTIVE: Advances in radiation delivery, imaging techniques, and chemotherapy have significantly improved treatment options for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancers (NPC). However, their impact on the practice in the ... -
Preclinical Modelling of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-05-03)Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) lacks accurate preclinical models. Those models that do exist often fail to recapitulate the biology of the disease, lacking expression of the key genetic aberration found in ACC, a MYB::NFIB ... -
Predicting progression-free survival after systemic therapy in advanced head and neck cancer: Bayesian regression and model development.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2022-12-23)BACKGROUND: Advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a poor prognosis, and biomarkers that predict response to treatment are highly desirable. The primary aim was to predict progression-free ... -
Predicting response to radical (chemo)radiotherapy with circulating HPV DNA in locally advanced head and neck squamous carcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2017-09-05)BACKGROUND: Following chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) for human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) locally advanced head and neck cancer, patients frequently undergo unnecessary neck dissection (ND) and/or repeated biopsies for ... -
Predicting synthetic lethal interactions using conserved patterns in protein interaction networks.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-04-17)In response to a need for improved treatments, a number of promising novel targeted cancer therapies are being developed that exploit human synthetic lethal interactions. This is facilitating personalised medicine strategies ... -
Primary Cilia Mediate Diverse Kinase Inhibitor Resistance Mechanisms in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-06-05)Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that detect mechanical and chemical stimuli. Although cilia house a number of oncogenic molecules (including Smoothened, KRAS, EGFR, and PDGFR), their precise role in cancer ... -
Prime-boost using separate oncolytic viruses in combination with checkpoint blockade improves anti-tumour therapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-01-01)The anti-tumour effects associated with oncolytic virus therapy are mediated significantly through immune-mediated mechanisms, which depend both on the type of virus and the route of delivery. Here, we show that intra-tumoral ... -
Principal component analysis fosr fast and model-free denoising of multi b-value diffusion-weighted MR images.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-04-09)Despite the utility of tumour characterisation using quantitative parameter maps from multi-b-value diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), clinicians often prefer the use of the image with highest diffusion-weighting (b-value), for ... -
Prospective, longitudinal, multi-modal functional imaging for radical chemo-IMRT treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancer: the INSIGHT study.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2015-05-15)BACKGROUND: Radical chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) is an effective organ-sparing treatment option for patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC). Despite advances in treatment for LAHNC, a significant minority ... -
Prostate-specific membrane antigen expression in melanoma metastases.
(WILEY, 2020-12-01)BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a prostatic epithelial protein that is used as a radiotracer (68Ga-PSMA-11) for prostate cancer staging. PSMA-PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) ... -
Proteomic characterisation of triple negative breast cancer cells following CDK4/6 inhibition.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-07-11)When used in combination with hormone treatment, Palbociclib prolongs progression-free survival of patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Mechanistically, Palbociclib inhibits CDK4/6 activity but the basis ... -
