Circulating vitamin D concentrations and risk of breast and prostate cancer: a Mendelian randomization study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-10-01)BACKGROUND: Observational studies have suggested an association between circulating vitamin D concentrations [25(OH)D] and risk of breast and prostate cancer, which was not supported by a recent Mendelian randomization ... -
Clonal hematopoiesis and risk of prostate cancer in large samples of European ancestry men.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2023-01-13)Little is known regarding the potential relationship between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) of indeterminate potential (CHIP), which is the expansion of hematopoietic stem cells with somatic mutations, and risk of prostate ... -
Collateral damage: the impact on outcomes from cancer surgery of the COVID-19 pandemic.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-01)BACKGROUND: Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of health care services to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Progression of cancers during delay will impact on patients' ... -
Combined Associations of a Polygenic Risk Score and Classical Risk Factors With Breast Cancer Risk.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-03-01)We evaluated the joint associations between a new 313-variant PRS (PRS313) and questionnaire-based breast cancer risk factors for women of European ancestry, using 72 284 cases and 80 354 controls from the Breast Cancer ... -
Combined Effect of a Polygenic Risk Score and Rare Genetic Variants on Prostate Cancer Risk.
Although prostate cancer is known to have a strong genetic basis and is influenced by both common and rare variants, the ability to investigate the combined effect of such genetic risk factors has been limited to date. We ... -
Combined effects of endogenous sex hormone levels and mammographic density on postmenopausal breast cancer risk: results from the Breakthrough Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2014-04-02)BACKGROUND: Mammographic density and sex hormone levels are strong risk factors for breast cancer, but it is unclear whether they represent the same aetiological entity or are independent risk factors. METHODS: Within the ... -
Combining Asian and European genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer improves risk prediction across racial and ethnic populations.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-10-02)Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have great potential to guide precision colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention by identifying those at higher risk to undertake targeted screening. However, current PRS using European ancestry data ... -
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 ... -
Common Susceptibility Loci for Male Breast Cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2021-04-06)BACKGROUND: The etiology of male breast cancer (MBC) is poorly understood. In particular, the extent to which the genetic basis of MBC differs from female breast cancer (FBC) is unknown. A previous genome-wide association ... -
Common variants in breast cancer risk loci predispose to distinct tumor subtypes.
(BMC, 2022-01-04)BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple common breast cancer susceptibility variants. Many of these variants have differential associations by estrogen receptor (ER) status, but how these ... -
Comparative performance of lung cancer risk models to define lung screening eligibility in the United Kingdom.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-06-08)BACKGROUND: The National Health Service England (NHS) classifies individuals as eligible for lung cancer screening using two risk prediction models, PLCOm2012 and Liverpool Lung Project-v2 (LLPv2). However, no study has ... -
Comparative Validation of Breast Cancer Risk Prediction Models and Projections for Future Risk Stratification.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2020-03-01)BACKGROUND: External validation of risk models is critical for risk-stratified breast cancer prevention. We used the Individualized Coherent Absolute Risk Estimation (iCARE) as a flexible tool for risk model development ... -
Comparative validation of the BOADICEA and Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk models incorporating classical risk factors and polygenic risk in a population-based prospective cohort of women of European ancestry.
(BMC, 2021-02-15)BACKGROUND: The Breast and Ovarian Analysis of Disease Incidence and Carrier Estimation Algorithm (BOADICEA) and the Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk prediction models are commonly used in clinical practice and have recently ... -
Constitutional mutation in CDKN2A is associated with long term survivorship in multiple myeloma: a case report.
(BMC, 2017-11-06)BACKGROUND: Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells associated with significantly reduced survival. Long term survivorship from myeloma is very rare and despite advances in its treatment the disease is generally ... -
Copy number evolution and its relationship with patient outcome-an analysis of 178 matched presentation-relapse tumor pairs from the Myeloma XI trial.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-12-01)Structural chromosomal changes including copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a major feature of multiple myeloma (MM), however their evolution in context of modern biological therapy is not well characterized. To investigate ... -
CoverView: a sequence quality evaluation tool for next generation sequencing data.
(2018-01)Quality assurance and quality control are essential for robust next generation sequencing (NGS). Here we present CoverView, a fast, flexible, user-friendly quality evaluation tool for NGS data. CoverView processes mapped ... -
Critical research gaps and recommendations to inform research prioritisation for more effective prevention and improved outcomes in colorectal cancer.
