Describing Unmet Supportive Care Needs among Young Adults with Cancer (25-39 Years) and the Relationship with Health-Related Quality of Life, Psychological Distress, and Illness Cognitions.
(MDPI, 2021-09-28)Few studies describe supportive care needs among young adults (YAs) with cancer ages 25 to 39 using validated questionnaires. Previous findings identified the need for psychological and information support and suggest that ... -
Designing and evaluating dose-escalation studies made easy: The MoDEsT web app.
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2020-04-01)BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dose-escalation studies are essential in the early stages of developing novel treatments, when the aim is to find a safe dose for administration in humans. Despite their great importance, many dose-escalation ... -
Designing Dual Inhibitors of Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and Bromodomain-4 (BRD4) by Tuning Kinase Selectivity.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2019-03)Concomitant inhibition of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and bromodomain-4 (BRD4) is a potential therapeutic strategy for targeting two key oncogenic drivers that co-segregate in a significant fraction of high-risk ... -
Desmoid fibromatosis through the patients' eyes: time to change the focus and organisation of care?
(SPRINGER, 2019-03-01)PURPOSE: Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is a rare, unpredictable disease with no established, evidence-based treatments. Individual management is based on consensus algorithms. This study aimed to examine the specific health-related ... -
Detecting and Tracking Circulating Tumour DNA Copy Number Profiles during First Line Chemotherapy in Oesophagogastric Adenocarcinoma.
(MDPI, 2019-06-04)DNA somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs) are key drivers in oesophagogastric adenocarcinoma (OGA). Whether minimally invasive SCNA analysis of circulating tumour (ct)DNA can predict treatment outcomes and reveal how ... -
Detecting repeated cancer evolution from multi-region tumor sequencing data.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-31)Recurrent successions of genomic changes, both within and between patients, reflect repeated evolutionary processes that are valuable for the anticipation of cancer progression. Multi-region sequencing allows the temporal ... -
Detection of BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM Alterations in Matched Tumor Tissue and Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients with Prostate Cancer Screened in PROfound.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2023-01-04)PURPOSE: Not all patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have sufficient tumor tissue available for multigene molecular testing. Furthermore, samples may fail because of difficulties within ... -
Detection of circulating tumour cell clusters in human glioblastoma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-14)Human glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive, invasive and hypervascularised malignant brain cancer. Individual circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are sporadically found in GBM patients, yet it is unclear whether multicellular ... -
Detection of the prodrug-activating enzyme carboxypeptidase G2 activity with chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance.
(SPRINGER, 2014-04-01)PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the differential exchange rates with bulk water between amine and amide protons can be exploited using chemical exchange saturation transfer magnetic resonance (CEST-MR) ... -
Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-04-19)The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ... -

Developing biomarker-driven treatments for oesophagogastric cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-08-31)Introduction Despite recent advances in both genetic characterisation and development of novel targeted agents the outlook for advanced oesophagogastric (OG) cancers remain poor and there is a need for improved biomarker-driven ... -
Development and responses of brain metastases during treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer: A single institution experience.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate that does not cross an intact blood-brain barrier. In the EMILIA trial of T-DM1 vs capecitabine/lapatinib for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer, all patients ... -
Development and validation for research assessment of Oncotype DX® Breast Recurrence Score, EndoPredict® and Prosigna®.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-02-12)Multi-gene prognostic signatures including the Oncotype® DX Recurrence Score (RS), EndoPredict® (EP) and Prosigna® (Risk Of Recurrence, ROR) are widely used to predict the likelihood of distant recurrence in patients with ... -
