The influence of obesity-related factors in the etiology of renal cell carcinoma-A mendelian randomization study.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Several obesity-related factors have been associated with renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but it is unclear which individual factors directly influence risk. We addressed this question using genetic markers as ...
Ultra-Sensitive Mutation Detection and Genome-Wide DNA Copy Number Reconstruction by Error-Corrected Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-08-27)
BACKGROUND: Circulating free DNA sequencing (cfDNA-Seq) can portray cancer genome landscapes, but highly sensitive and specific technologies are necessary to accurately detect mutations with often low variant frequencies. ...
Meta-analysis of Genome Wide Association Studies Identifies Genetic Markers of Late Toxicity Following Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2016-08-01)
Nearly 50% of cancer patients undergo radiotherapy. Late radiotherapy toxicity affects quality-of-life in long-term cancer survivors and risk of side-effects in a minority limits doses prescribed to the majority of patients. ...
RB1 Heterogeneity in Advanced Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-15)
PURPOSE: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is a lethal but clinically heterogeneous disease, with patients having variable benefit from endocrine and cytotoxic treatments. Intrapatient genomic ...
Common genetic variation associated with increased susceptibility to prostate cancer does not increase risk of radiotherapy toxicity.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-05-10)
BACKGROUND: Numerous germline single-nucleotide polymorphisms increase susceptibility to prostate cancer, some lying near genes involved in cellular radiation response. This study investigated whether prostate cancer ...
