Prostate Cancer Germline Variations and Implications for Screening and Treatment.
(COLD SPRING HARBOR LAB PRESS, PUBLICATIONS DEPT, 2018-09-04)
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a highly heritable disease, and rapid evolution of sequencing technologies has enabled marked progression of our understanding of its genetic inheritance. A complex polygenic model that involves ...
Genome-wide association analysis identifies a meningioma risk locus at 11p15.5.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-10-09)
BACKGROUND: Meningiomas are adult brain tumors originating in the meningeal coverings of the brain and spinal cord, with significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have previously identified only ...
Glioma-related seizures in relation to histopathological subtypes: a report from the glioma international case-control study.
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of glioma-related seizures and seizure control at the time of tumor diagnosis with respect to tumor histologic subtypes, tumor treatment and patient ...
Risk of second primary cancer following myeloid neoplasia and risk of myeloid neoplasia as second primary cancer: a nationwide, observational follow up study in Sweden.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Although advances in the treatment of myeloid neoplasms have led to improved patient survival, this improvement has been accompanied by an increased risk of second primary cancer (ie, the risk of another cancer ...
Familial risks of acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2018-08-30)
Identification of susceptibility pathways for the role of chromosome 15q25.1 in modifying lung cancer risk.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2018-08-13)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the chromosome 15q25.1 locus as a leading susceptibility region for lung cancer. However, the pathogenic pathways, through which susceptibility SNPs within chromosome 15q25.1 ...
Exploring causality in the association between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D and colorectal cancer risk: a large Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMC, 2018-08-14)
BACKGROUND: Whilst observational studies establish that lower plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels are associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), establishing causality has proven challenging. Since ...
DESNT: A Poor Prognosis Category of Human Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-12-01)
BACKGROUND: A critical problem in the clinical management of prostate cancer is that it is highly heterogeneous. Accurate prediction of individual cancer behaviour is therefore not achievable at the time of diagnosis leading ...
Management of Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer: The Report of the Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference APCCC 2017.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-02-01)
BACKGROUND: In advanced prostate cancer (APC), successful drug development as well as advances in imaging and molecular characterisation have resulted in multiple areas where there is lack of evidence or low level of ...
Prediction of outcome in newly diagnosed myeloma: a meta-analysis of the molecular profiles of 1905 trial patients.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-01-01)
Robust establishment of survival in multiple myeloma (MM) and its relationship to recurrent genetic aberrations is required as outcomes are variable despite apparent similar staging. We assayed copy number alterations (CNA) ...
