The Mutational Concordance of Fixed Formalin Paraffin Embedded and Fresh Frozen Gastro-Oesophageal Tumours Using Whole Exome Sequencing.
(MDPI, 2021-01-09)UNLABELLED: 1. BACKGROUND: The application of massively parallel sequencing has led to the identification of aberrant druggable pathways and somatic mutations within therapeutically relevant genes in gastro-oesophageal ... -
Lights and Shadows in Immuno-Oncology Drug Development.
(MDPI, 2021-02-09)The rapidly evolving landscape of immuno-oncology (IO) is redefining the treatment of a number of cancer types. IO treatments are becoming increasingly complex, with different types of drugs emerging beyond checkpoint ... -
Emergence of Enzalutamide Resistance in Prostate Cancer is Associated with BCL-2 and IKKB Dependencies.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-04-15)PURPOSE: Although enzalutamide (ENZ) has been widely used to treat de novo or castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer, resistance develops and disease progression is ultimately inevitable. There are currently no ... -
JMJD6 Is a Druggable Oxygenase That Regulates AR-V7 Expression in Prostate Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-02-15)Endocrine resistance (EnR) in advanced prostate cancer is fatal. EnR can be mediated by androgen receptor (AR) splice variants, with AR splice variant 7 (AR-V7) arguably the most clinically important variant. In this study, ... -
3D Functional Genomics Screens Identify CREBBP as a Targetable Driver in Aggressive Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-02-15)Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) are resistant to standard-of-care chemotherapy and lack known targetable driver gene alterations. Identification of novel drivers could aid the discovery of new treatment strategies ... -
CD38 in Advanced Prostate Cancers.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-02-01)BACKGROUND: CD38, a druggable ectoenzyme, is involved in the generation of adenosine, which is implicated in tumour immune evasion. Its expression and role in prostate tumour-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) have not been ... -
Targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis in non-small cell lung cancer.
The last decade has witnessed rapid advances in the discovery and development of immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer medicine, particularly drugs targeting programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand ... -
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 ... -
Adjuvant Pembrolizumab versus Placebo in Resected Stage III Melanoma.
BACKGROUND:The programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitor pembrolizumab has been found to prolong progression-free and overall survival among patients with advanced melanoma. We conducted a phase 3 double-blind trial to evaluate ... -
A prospective observational study of on-treatment plasma homocysteine levels as a biomarker of toxicity, depression and vitamin supplementation lead-in time pre pemetrexed, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2019-11-25)OBJECTIVES: Vitamin supplementation reduces pemetrexed toxicity. Raised plasma homocysteine reflects deficiency in vitamin B12 and folate, and is suppressed by supplementation. This observational study of 112 patients ... -
Research Related Tumour Biopsies in Early-Phase Trials with Simultaneous Molecular Characterisation - a Single Unit Experience.
(Elsevier BV, 2021-01-11)Early-phase cancer clinical trials are becoming increasingly accessible for patients with advanced cancer who have exhausted standard treatment options and later phase trial options. Many of these trials mandate research ... -
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and phase 1 cancer clinical trials.

Assessment of Ki67 in Breast Cancer: Updated Recommendations from the International Ki67 in Breast Cancer Working Group.
(2020-12-28)Ki67 immunohistochemistry, commonly used as a proliferation marker in breast cancer, has limited value for treatment decisions due to questionable analytical validity. The International Ki67 Working Group (IKWG) consensus ... -
Abiraterone in "High-" and "Low-risk" Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-12-01)BACKGROUND: Abiraterone acetate received licencing for use in only "high-risk" metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) following the LATITUDE trial findings. However, a "risk"-related effect was not seen in the ... -
Bevacizumab as adjuvant treatment of colon cancer: updated results from the S-AVANT phase III study by the GERCOR Group.
Background The bevacizumab-Avastin® adjuVANT (AVANT) study did not meet its primary end point of improving disease-free survival (DFS) with the addition of bevacizumab to oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in stage III colon ... -
Adult soft tissue myoepithelial carcinoma: treatment outcomes and efficacy of chemotherapy.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-12-27)Soft tissue myoepithelial carcinomas are a rare, malignant subgroup of myoepithelial tumours mostly arising in the extremities with equal predilection for women and men. The mainstay of management of localised disease is ... -
Evaluation of diffusion-weighted MRI and (18F) fluorothymidine-PET biomarkers for early response assessment in patients with operable non-small cell lung cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-01-01)OBJECTIVE: To correlate changes in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted (DW)-MRI and standardised uptake value (SUV) from fluorothymidine (18FLT)-PET/CT with histopathological estimates of ... -
Meta-analyses of visceral versus non-visceral metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer treated by endocrine monotherapies.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-02-12)Endocrine therapy (ET) is recommended as first-line therapy for the majority of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor 2-negative advanced breast cancer (ABC); however, the efficacy ... -
