Biomarkers Associating with PARP Inhibitor Benefit in Prostate Cancer in the TOPARP-B Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-11-01)PARP inhibitors are approved for treating advanced prostate cancers (APC) with various defective DNA repair genes; however, further studies to clinically qualify predictive biomarkers are warranted. Herein we analyzed ... -
Biomarkers for site-specific response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in epithelial ovarian cancer: relating MRI changes to tumour cell load and necrosis.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-03-16)BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) potentially interrogates site-specific response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS: Participants with newly ... -
Biomarkers of Response and Resistance to Palbociclib Plus Letrozole in Patients With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-01-01)PURPOSE: To determine (i) the relationship between candidate biomarkers of the antiproliferative (Ki67) response to letrozole and palbociclib alone and combined in ER+/HER2- breast cancer; and (ii) the pharmacodynamic ... -
Biomarkers of therapy response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma AND Adaptive immune response to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines in cancer patients
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-04-30)The cornerstone of treatment for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are anti-VEGF and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI). However, there are no clinically implemented predictive biomarkers in any therapeutic ... -
