Costs and staffing resource requirements for adaptive clinical trials: quantitative and qualitative results from the Costing Adaptive Trials project.
(BMC, 2021-10-26)
BACKGROUND: Adaptive designs offer great promise in improving the efficiency and patient-benefit of clinical trials. An important barrier to further increased use is a lack of understanding about which additional resources ...
Impact of the menstrual cycle on commercial prognostic gene signatures in oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-01)
PURPOSE: Changes occur in the expression of oestrogen-regulated and proliferation-associated genes in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours during the menstrual cycle. We investigated if Oncotype® DX recurrence ...
Quality assurance of dysphagia-optimised intensity modulated radiotherapy treatment planning for head and neck cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-10-01)
This study aimed to assess the impact of the margin applied to the clinical target volume, to create the planning target volume, on plan quality of a novel dysphagia-optimised intensity modulated radiotherapy technique ...
Targeting the Intrinsic Apoptosis Pathway: A Window of Opportunity for Prostate Cancer.
(MDPI, 2021-12-23)
Despite major improvements in the management of advanced prostate cancer over the last 20 years, the disease remains invariably fatal, and new effective therapies are required. The development of novel hormonal agents and ...
Dose-escalated intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers: ART DECO, a phase III randomised controlled trial.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Radical (chemo)radiotherapy offers potentially curative treatment for patients with locally advanced laryngeal or hypopharyngeal cancer. We aimed to show that dose-escalated intensity-modulated radiotherapy ...
The Evaluation of Health-Related Quality of Life Issues Experienced by Patients with Desmoid-Type Fibromatosis (The QUALIFIED Study)-A Protocol for an International Cohort Study.
(MDPI, 2021-06-22)
Sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis (DTF) is a rare soft tissue tumour with an unpredictable clinical course. These tumours are incapable of metastasising, but their local aggressive tumour growth and tendency to recur ...
Histamine signaling and metabolism identify potential biomarkers and therapies for lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
(WILEY, 2021-09-07)
Inhibition of mTOR is the standard of care for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). However, this therapy has variable tolerability and some patients show progressive decline of lung function despite treatment. LAM diagnosis ...
Trastuzumab for early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer: a meta-analysis of 13 864 women in seven randomised trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Trastuzumab targets the extracellular domain of the HER2 protein. Adding trastuzumab to chemotherapy for patients with early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer reduces the risk of recurrence and death, but is ...
A phospho-proteomic study of cetuximab resistance in KRAS/NRAS/BRAFV600 wild-type colorectal cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-08-30)
PURPOSE: We hypothesised that plasticity in signal transduction may be a mechanism of drug resistance and tested this hypothesis in the setting of cetuximab resistance in patients with KRAS/NRAS/BRAFV600 wild-type colorectal ...
Hypofractionation: less is more?
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2021-08-17)
One third of patients with bladder cancer present with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) which has a poor prognosis. International guidelines for the management of MIBC recommend radical cystectomy or bladder-preserving ...
