Patient advocate involvement in the design and conduct of breast cancer clinical trials requiring the collection of multiple biopsies.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-01-01)
PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY: Breast cancer is a diverse and varied disease. Recent research has shown that the collection of multiple biopsies before surgery can help researchers determine how the cancer is responding to treatment ...
Impact of aromatase inhibitor treatment on global gene expression and its association with antiproliferative response in ER+ breast cancer in postmenopausal patients.
(BMC, 2019-12-31)
BACKGROUND: Endocrine therapy reduces breast cancer mortality by 40%, but resistance remains a major clinical problem. In this study, we sought to investigate the impact of aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy on gene expression ...
Genomic Instability and TP53 Genomic Alterations Associate With Poor Antiproliferative Response and Intrinsic Resistance to Aromatase Inhibitor Treatment.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2019-01)
PURPOSE: Although aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment is effective in estrogen receptor-positive postmenopausal breast cancer, resistance is common and incompletely explained. Genomic instability, as measured by somatic ...
Is breast seroma after tumour resection associated with patient-reported breast appearance change following radiotherapy? Results from the IMPORT HIGH (CRUK/06/003) trial.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-07)
BACKGROUND: Seroma describes a collection of serous fluid within a cavity, occurring following surgery. Seroma is associated with normal tissue effects (NTE) following breast radiotherapy, as reported by clinicians and on ...
Can patient-reported outcomes be used instead of clinician-reported outcomes and photographs as primary endpoints of late normal tissue effects in breast radiotherapy trials? Results from the IMPORT LOW trial.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2019-05)
BACKGROUND: In an era of low local relapse rates after adjuvant breast radiotherapy, risks of late normal-tissue effects (NTE) need to be balanced against risk of relapse. NTE are assessed using patient-reported outcome ...
Accelerated versus standard epirubicin followed by cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil or capecitabine as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer in the randomised UK TACT2 trial (CRUK/05/19): a multicentre, phase 3, open-label, randomised, controlled trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer has improved outcomes but causes toxicity. The UK TACT2 trial used a 2×2 factorial design to test two hypotheses: whether use of accelerated epirubicin would improve ...
Patient-Reported Outcomes Over 5 Years After Whole- or Partial-Breast Radiotherapy: Longitudinal Analysis of the IMPORT LOW (CRUK/06/003) Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2019-02-01)
PURPOSE: IMPORT LOW demonstrated noninferiority of partial-breast and reduced-dose radiotherapy versus whole-breast radiotherapy for local relapse and similar or reduced toxicity at 5 years. Comprehensive patient-reported ...
Major Impact of Sampling Methodology on Gene Expression in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-05-22)
To investigate the impact of sampling methodology on gene expression data from primary estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer biopsies, global gene expression was measured in core-cut biopsies at baseline and surgery ...
Women's Free-text Comments on their Quality of Life: An Exploratory Analysis from the UK Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy (START) Trials for Early Breast Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-07-01)
AIMS: Exploratory analysis of patients' unsolicited written comments in the first 2 years of the Standardisation of Breast Radiotherapy (START) trial quality of life study highlighted a potential effect of non-treatment-related ...
Evaluation of applying IHC4 as a prognostic model in the translational study of Intergroup Exemestane Study (IES): PathIES.
(SPRINGER, 2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Intergroup Exemestane Study (IES) was a randomised study that showed a survival benefit of switching adjuvant endocrine therapy after 2-3 years from tamoxifen to exemestane. This PathIES aimed to assess the ...
