Practice-changing radiation therapy trials for the treatment of cancer: where are we 150 years after the birth of Marie Curie?
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-14)
As we mark 150 years since the birth of Marie Curie, we reflect on the global advances made in radiation oncology and the current status of radiation therapy (RT) research. Large-scale international RT clinical trials have ...
Intravenous delivery of oncolytic reovirus to brain tumor patients immunologically primes for subsequent checkpoint blockade.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2018-01-03)
Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including those targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), are reshaping cancer therapeutic strategies. Evidence suggests, however, that tumor response and patient survival are determined ...
Poor treatment outcomes with palliative gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy in advanced and metastatic synovial sarcoma.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-08-20)
The outcome for patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma remains poor with few treatment options. Synovial sarcoma is a rare type of sarcoma, predominantly affecting adolescents and young adults. Following ...
Single-Cell Analyses of Prostate Cancer Liquid Biopsies Acquired by Apheresis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-11-15)
Purpose: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have clinical relevance, but their study has been limited by their low frequency.Experimental Design: We evaluated liquid biopsies by apheresis to increase CTC yield from patients ...
A phase I study to assess afatinib in combination with carboplatin or with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
(SPRINGER, 2018-11-01)
PURPOSE: Afatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, has demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity with chemotherapy. METHODS: As part of a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT00809133; 3 + 3 ...
Rapid access clinic for unexplained lymphadenopathy and suspected malignancy: prospective analysis of 1000 patients.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)
BACKGROUND: In patients presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy, it is critical to effectively identify those with underlying cancer who require urgent specialist care. METHODS: We analyzed a large dataset of 1000 ...
MIR21 Drives Resistance to Heat Shock Protein 90 Inhibition in Cholangiocarcinoma.
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Cholangiocarcinomas (CCA) are resistant to chemotherapy, so new therapeutic agents are needed. We performed a screen to identify small-molecule compounds that are active against CCAs. Levels of microRNA ...
Patient-derived organoids model treatment response of metastatic gastrointestinal cancers.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2018-02-23)
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) have recently emerged as robust preclinical models; however, their potential to predict clinical outcomes in patients has remained unclear. We report on a living biobank of PDOs from ...
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 ...
Discordance between oncotype DX recurrence score and RSPC for predicting residual risk of recurrence in ER-positive breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-02-01)
PURPOSE: Oncotype DX, a gene expression assay widely employed to aid decision making on adjuvant chemotherapy use in patients with primary oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, produces a recurrence score (RS) ...
