Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cancer: a joint analysis of OnCovid and ESMO-CoCARE registries.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-11-01)BACKGROUND: As management and prevention strategies against COVID-19 evolve, it is still uncertain whether prior exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) affects COVID-19 severity in patients with cancer. METHODS: ... -
Pembrolizumab With or Without Chemotherapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Updated Results of the Phase III KEYNOTE-048 Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2023-02-01)PURPOSE: Pembrolizumab and pembrolizumab-chemotherapy demonstrated efficacy in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in KEYNOTE-048. Post hoc analysis of long-term efficacy and progression-free survival ... -
RAS oncogenic activity predicts response to chemotherapy and outcome in lung adenocarcinoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-26)Activating mutations in KRAS occur in 32% of lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD). Despite leading to aggressive disease and resistance to therapy in preclinical studies, the KRAS mutation does not predict patient outcome or response ... -
Evolutionary selection of alleles in the melanophilin gene that impacts on prostate organ function and cancer risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-02-26)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Several hundred inherited genetic variants or SNPs that alter the risk of cancer have been identified through genome-wide association studies. In populations of European ancestry, these variants ... -
Dabrafenib and Trametinib Therapy for Advanced Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer - Real-World Outcomes From UK Centres.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-11-12)AIMS: Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare but aggressive form of thyroid cancer with a median survival of 4 months. Recent advances in molecular profiling have shown that up to half of ATCs harbour the BRAF-V600E ... -
Metabolic phenotyping using the iKnife identifies IRS2 as a driver of lipid metabolism reprogramming in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-11-22)The advent of precision medicine is changing the clinicians' approach to therapeutic decisions. It also implies that the identification of biomarkers and discriminating factors is necessary for more effective treatment ... -
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 ... -
PEARLS - A multicentre phase II/III trial of extended field radiotherapy for androgen sensitive prostate cancer patients with PSMA-avid pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph nodes at presentation.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-11-01)PEARLS is a multi-stage randomised controlled trial for prostate cancer patients with pelvic and/or para-aortic PSMA-avid lymph node disease at presentation. The aim of the trial is to determine whether extending the ... -
Structure of a nucleosome-bound MuvB transcription factor complex reveals DNA remodelling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-29)Genes encoding the core cell cycle machinery are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle-specific manner. Complexes of MuvB with the transcription factors B-MYB and FOXM1 activate ... -
Investigation of the effects of hydrogen peroxide in combination with ionising radiation in cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-10-18)Introduction In the early 2000s, Japanese colleagues reported sensitisation of normal and tumour cell lines to cytotoxic doses of ionising radiation (IR) by low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), research that ... -
