Evaluation of the use and efficacy of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy in angiosarcoma: a multicentre study.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-07-01)INTRODUCTION: Angiosarcomas constitute approximately 2% to 3% of all soft tissue sarcomas, are characterised by an aggressive clinical behaviour and poor outcome. Optimal management of localised angiosarcomas consists of ... -
Everolimus Added to Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy in Patients With High-Risk Hormone Receptor-Positive, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2-Negative Primary Breast Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-11-10)PURPOSE: Everolimus, an oral inhibitor of the mammalian target of rapamycin, improves progression-free survival in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) in postmenopausal women with aromatase inhibitor-resistant metastatic ... -
Evidence of Chemoresponsiveness in Unresectable Metastatic Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma.
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2023-01-16)Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a soft tissue neoplasm of intermediate biological potential. Typically a slow-growing tumor, it can recur locally. Rarely, it manifests as a soft tissue sarcoma capable of metastasis. ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(2020-01)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-08)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Exclusion of Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients With Prior Cancer From Clinical Trials: Is This Justified?
(2016-06)Background Strict eligibility criteria are necessary to maintain patient safety and scientific validity in clinical trials. However, this may lead to impaired generalizability of results. As survival in gastrointestinal ... -
Exploiting evolutionary steering to induce collateral drug sensitivity in cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-21)Drug resistance mediated by clonal evolution is arguably the biggest problem in cancer therapy today. However, evolving resistance to one drug may come at a cost of decreased fecundity or increased sensitivity to another ... -
Exploration of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes as a predictive biomarker for adjuvant endocrine therapy in early breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)PURPOSE: Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been shown to be prognostic for disease-free survival and predictive for the benefit of chemotherapy in patients with early breast cancer, but have not been studied for ... -
Exploring novel approaches to metastatic heterogeneity and clonal evolution
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-12-31)Background Alternative methods are required to optimise the clinical insights that may be derived from studies of cancer evolution and heterogeneity. Profiling a single biopsy of tumour tissue underestimates potential ... -
Exploring the barriers to, and importance of, participant diversity in early-phase clinical trials: an interview-based qualitative study of professionals and patient and public representatives.
(BMJ, 2024-03-19)OBJECTIVES: To explore the importance of, and barriers to achieving, diversity in early-phase clinical trials. DESIGN: Qualitative interviews analysed using thematic analysis. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Five professionals ... -
Exploring the Impact of Treatment Switching on Overall Survival from the PROfound Study in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR)-Mutated Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC).
(SPRINGER, 2021-09-03)BACKGROUND: In oncology trials, treatment switching from the comparator to the experimental regimen is often allowed but may lead to underestimating overall survival (OS) of an experimental therapy. OBJECTIVE: This study ... -
Exploring tumour evolution through single-cell sequencing
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-10-24)Tumours are composed of heterogeneous populations of cells which, under the pressure of the host and external treatments, evolve across time and space. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have ... -
Expression and clinical association of programmed cell death-1, programmed death-ligand-1 and CD8+ lymphocytes in primary sarcomas is subtype dependent.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-07-07)In order to explore the potential of immune checkpoint blockade in sarcoma, we investigated expression and clinical relevance of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and CD8 in tumors of 208 ... -
Extensive mucocutaneous, oesophageal and otic lichen planus secondary to nivolumab therapy.
(Wiley, 2021-03-01)We report a 73-year-old female with metastatic renal cell carcinoma who developed a widespread lichenoid reaction following nivolumab treatment. The timeline of the reaction strongly correlated with the nivolumab treatment ... -
External Validation of the 2003 Leibovich Prognostic Score in Patients Randomly Assigned to SORCE, an International Phase III Trial of Adjuvant Sorafenib in Renal Cell Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-06-01)PURPOSE: The 2003 Leibovich score guides prognostication and selection to adjuvant clinical trials for patients with locally advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after nephrectomy. We provide a robust external validation ... -
