Circulating tumour DNA in advanced thyroid cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-02-28)
Conventional biomarkers currently used in thyroid cancer are not disease specific and fluctuate in advanced disease, making interpretation difficult. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has been shown to be a useful in other ...
Revealing mechanisms of metabolic pathways associated with cancer pain
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-06-30)
Dysregulation of lipid metabolism is a hallmark of oncogenesis. Many lipid metabolites have been implicated in non-cancer pain states, but their role in cancer-related pain has yet to be firmly established. Previous work ...
Combined targeting of G protein-coupled receptor and EGF receptor signaling overcomes resistance to PI3K pathway inhibitors in PTEN-null triple negative breast cancer.
(2020-08)
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poorer prognosis compared to other types of breast cancers due to the lack of effective therapies and markers for patient stratification. Loss of PTEN tumor suppressor gene expression ...
Tracking the molecular and metabolic fingerprints of inhalational versus intravenous anaesthetics in preclinical models of breast cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-09-30)
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 ...
Using inducible degradation to characterise the roles of TRIP13 and CEP57 in mitosis
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-05-31)
DNA and centrosomes are both semi-conservatively replicated once per cell cycle and it is essential that the DNA and centrosomes are divided equally between daughter cells in mitosis. When this fails, it can lead to ...
Dose Reduction of Preoperative Radiotherapy in Myxoid Liposarcoma: A Nonrandomized Controlled Trial.
(2021-01-21)
Importance Currently, preoperative radiotherapy for all soft-tissue sarcomas is identical at a 50-Gy dose level, which can be associated with morbidity, particularly wound complications. The observed clinical radiosensitivity ...
Gustatory function following radiotherapy to the head and neck
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)
An intact sense of taste provides pleasure, supports sustenance and alerts the body to potential toxins. Patients with head and neck (HNC) who undergo radiotherapy (RT) are at high risk of developing acute and late taste ...
A commercial antibody to the human condensin II subunit NCAPH2 cross-reacts with a SWI/SNF complex component
(2021-01-13)
Condensin complexes compact and disentangle chromosomes in preparation for cell division. Commercially available antibodies raised against condensin subunits have been widely used to characterise their cellular interactome. ...
Inherited duplications of PPP2R3B predispose to nevi and melanoma via a C21orf91-driven proliferative phenotype.
(2021-06-18)
Purpose Much of the heredity of melanoma remains unexplained. We sought predisposing germline copy-number variants using a rare disease approach.Methods Whole-genome copy-number findings in patients with melanoma predisposition ...
