Multidisciplinary interventions in a specialist Drug Development Unit to improve family history documentation and onward referral of patients with advanced cancer to cancer genetics services.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-06-01)BACKGROUND: Molecular aberrations in cancer may represent therapeutic targets, and, if arising from the germline, may impact further cancer risk management in patients and their blood relatives. Annually, 600-700 patients ... -
Multiparametric bone MRI can improve CT-guided bone biopsy target selection in cancer patients and increase diagnostic yield and feasibility of next-generation tumour sequencing.
(SPRINGER, 2022-01-29)OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether multiparametric bone MRI (mpBMRI) utilising a combination of DWI signal, ADC and relative fat-fraction (rFF) can identify bone metastases, which provide high diagnostic biopsy yield and ... -
Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Prostate Cancer Bone Disease: Correlation With Bone Biopsy Histological and Molecular Features.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-02-01)OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to correlate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) bone metastases with histological and molecular features of bone metastases. MATERIALS AND ... -
Mutation tracking in circulating tumor DNA predicts relapse in early breast cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-08-26)The identification of early-stage breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse would allow tailoring of adjuvant therapy approaches. We assessed whether analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma can be used to ... -
MYCN expression induces replication stress and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-06-09)This study investigates the influence expression of the MYCN oncogene has on the DNA damage response, replication fork progression and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, ... -
Nationwide trends in the incidence and outcome of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumour in the imatinib era.
(2018-07)BACKGROUND:The incidence, treatment and outcome of patients with newly diagnosed gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) were studied in an era known for advances in diagnosis and treatment. METHODS:Nationwide population-based ... -
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves survival in patients with oesophageal mucinous adenocarcinoma: Post-hoc analysis of the UK MRC OE02 and OE05 trials.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-07-01)BACKGROUND: Adenocarcinoma with more than 50% extracellular mucin is a relatively rare histological subtype of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas. The clinical impact of extracellular mucin in oesophageal adenocarcinoma ... -
Neoadjuvant cisplatin and fluorouracil versus epirubicin, cisplatin, and capecitabine followed by resection in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma (UK MRC OE05): an open-label, randomised phase 3 trial.
(2017-09)Background Neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery improves survival compared with surgery alone for patients with oesophageal cancer. The OE05 trial assessed whether increasing the duration and intensity of neoadjuvant ... -
Neoadjuvant Therapy Induces a Potent Immune Response to Sarcoma, Dominated by Myeloid and B Cells.
<h4>Purpose</h4>To characterize changes in the soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) tumor immune microenvironment induced by standard neoadjuvant therapy with the goal of informing neoadjuvant immunotherapy trial design.<h4>Experimental ... -
Neuroblastoma Arginase Activity Creates an Immunosuppressive Microenvironment That Impairs Autologous and Engineered Immunity.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2015-08-01)Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood, and survival remains poor for patients with advanced disease. Novel immune therapies are currently in development, but clinical outcomes have not ... -
Neurocognitive function following (chemo)radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer and other head and neck cancers: A systematic review.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-11-01)When radiotherapy is used in the treatment of head and neck cancers, the brain commonly receives incidental doses of radiotherapy with potential for neurocognitive changes and subsequent impact on quality of life. This has ... -
Neurotoxicity from immune-checkpoint inhibition in the treatment of melanoma: a single centre experience and review of the literature.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-02-01)BACKGROUND: Treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPi) has greatly improved survival for patients with advanced melanoma in recent years. Anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD1 antibodies have been approved following large Phase ... -
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Treated With Daily Oral Corticosteroids.
(CIG MEDIA GROUP, LP, 2017-12-01)BACKGROUND: The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to be highly prognostic across many tumor types, and predictive of treatment outcome in advanced prostate cancer, and has been postulated to be an indirect ... -
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio kinetics in patients with advanced solid tumours on phase I trials of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: Although the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is prognostic in many oncological settings, its significance in the immunotherapy era is unknown. Mechanistically, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may alter NLR. We sought ... -
New Prognostic Biomarkers in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-01-19)Prostate cancer is one of the most frequent cancers in men and is a common cause of cancer-related death. Despite significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of this tumor, patients who relapse after radical ... -
