Evaluating Imaging Biomarkers of Acquired Resistance to Targeted EGFR Therapy in Xenograft Models of Human Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Baker, LCJ; Sikka, A; Price, JM; Boult, JKR; Lepicard, EY; et al. (FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2018-07-23)Background: Overexpression of EGFR is a negative prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Patients with HNSCC who respond to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) eventually develop ... -
Evaluation of the combination of the dual m-TORC1/2 inhibitor vistusertib (AZD2014) and paclitaxel in ovarian cancer models.
Wong Te Fong, A-C; Thavasu, P; Gagrica, S; Swales, KE; Leach, MO; et al. (IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-12-26)Activation of the PI3K/mTOR pathway has been shown to be correlated with resistance to chemotherapy in ovarian cancer. We aimed to investigate the effects of combining inhibition of mTORC1 and 2 using the mTOR kinase ... -
Extracranial Soft-Tissue Tumors: Repeatability of Apparent Diffusion Coefficient Estimates from Diffusion-weighted MR Imaging.
Winfield, JM; Tunariu, N; Rata, M; Miyazaki, K; Jerome, NP; et al. (RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA, 2017-07-01)Purpose To assess the repeatability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) estimates in extracranial soft-tissue diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging across a wide range of imaging protocols and patient populations. ... -
Metabolic biomarkers of response to the AKT inhibitor MK-2206 in pre-clinical models of human colorectal and prostate carcinoma.
Al-Saffar, NMS; Troy, H; Wong Te Fong, A-C; Paravati, R; Jackson, LE; et al. (NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-30)BACKGROUND: AKT is commonly overexpressed in tumours and plays an important role in the metabolic reprogramming of cancer. We have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to assess whether inhibition of AKT signalling ... -
Pediatric and adult glioblastoma radiosensitization induced by PI3K/mTOR inhibition causes early metabolic alterations detected by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Agliano, A; Balarajah, G; Ciobota, DM; Sidhu, J; Clarke, PA; et al. (IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-07-18)Poor outcome for patients with glioblastomas is often associated with radioresistance. PI3K/mTOR pathway deregulation has been correlated with radioresistance; therefore, PI3K/mTOR inhibition could render tumors radiosensitive. ...
