A rectal cancer feasibility study with an embedded phase III trial design assessing magnetic resonance tumour regression grade (mrTRG) as a novel biomarker to stratify management by good and poor response to chemoradiotherapy (TRIGGER): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Battersby, NJ; Dattani, M; Rao, S; Cunningham, D; Tait, D; et al. (BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-08-29)BACKGROUND: Pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for MRI-defined, locally advanced rectal cancer is primarily intended to reduce local recurrence rates by downstaging tumours, enabling an improved likelihood of curative ... -
Chemosensitivity profiling of osteosarcoma tumour cell lines identifies a model of BRCAness.
Holme, H; Gulati, A; Brough, R; Fleuren, EDG; Bajrami, I; et al. (NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-07-13)Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive sarcoma, where novel treatment approaches are required. Genomic studies suggest that a subset of OS, including OS tumour cell lines (TCLs), exhibit genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) ... -
Clonal diversity of MYC amplification evaluated by fluorescent in situ hybridisation and digital droplet polymerase chain reaction in oesophagogastric cancer: Results from a prospective clinical trial screening programme.
Davidson, M; Aronson, LI; Howard-Reeves, J; Bryant, H; Cutts, RJ; et al. (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-11-01)INTRODUCTION: The MYC proto-oncogene is among the most commonly dysregulated genes in human cancers. We report screening data from the iMYC trial, an ongoing phase II study assessing ibrutinib monotherapy in advanced ... -
Ibrutinib in c-MYC and HER2 Amplified Oesophagogastric Carcinoma: Results of the Proof-of-Concept iMYC Study.
Turkes, F; Bryant, A; Begum, R; Davidson, M; Kalaitzaki, E; et al. (MDPI, 2022-03-22)Oesophagogastric (OG) cancer is a highly lethal disease requiring novel treatment options. c-MYC and/or HER-2 amplified oesophageal cancer models have demonstrated sensitivity to BTK inhibition with ibrutinib. We evaluated ... -
Mapping genetic vulnerabilities reveals BTK as a novel therapeutic target in oesophageal cancer.
Chong, IY; Aronson, L; Bryant, H; Gulati, A; Campbell, J; et al. (BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)OBJECTIVE: Oesophageal cancer is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Disease relapse is frequent and treatment options are limited. DESIGN: To identify new biomarker-defined therapeutic approaches ... -
Rapid access clinic for unexplained lymphadenopathy and suspected malignancy: prospective analysis of 1000 patients.
Kühnl, A; Cunningham, D; Hutka, M; Peckitt, C; Rozati, H; et al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: In patients presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy, it is critical to effectively identify those with underlying cancer who require urgent specialist care. METHODS: We analyzed a large dataset of 1000 ... -
The Mutational Concordance of Fixed Formalin Paraffin Embedded and Fresh Frozen Gastro-Oesophageal Tumours Using Whole Exome Sequencing.
Chong, IY; Starling, N; Rust, A; Alexander, J; Aronson, L; et al. (MDPI, 2021-01-09)UNLABELLED: 1. BACKGROUND: The application of massively parallel sequencing has led to the identification of aberrant druggable pathways and somatic mutations within therapeutically relevant genes in gastro-oesophageal ...
