Adaptive immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in cancer patients: The CAPTURE study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-03-01)
Genetic predisposition to prostate cancer: an update.
(SPRINGER, 2021-01-24)
Improvements in DNA sequencing technology and discoveries made by large scale genome-wide association studies have led to enormous insight into the role of genetic variation in prostate cancer risk. High-risk prostate ...
UKCGG Consensus Group guidelines for the management of patients with constitutional TP53 pathogenic variants.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-22)
Constitutional pathogenic variants in TP53 are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or the more recently described heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome and are associated with increased lifetime risks of a wide spectrum ...
Oncologically Relevant Findings Reporting and Data System (ONCO-RADS): Guidelines for the Acquisition, Interpretation, and Reporting of Whole-Body MRI for Cancer Screening.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA (RSNA), 2021-06-01)
Acknowledging the increasing number of studies describing the use of whole-body MRI for cancer screening, and the increasing number of examinations being performed in patients with known cancers, an international ...
Alcohol Intake and Alcohol-SNP Interactions Associated with Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness.
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)
Excessive alcohol intake is a well-known modifiable risk factor for many cancers. It is still unclear whether genetic variants or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can modify alcohol intake's impact on prostate cancer ...
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 ...
Cancer drivers and clonal dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia subtypes
(2021-04-15)
To obtain a comprehensive picture of composite genetic drivers events and clonal dynamics in subtypes of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) we analysed tumour-normal whole genome sequencing and expression data ...
The CHEK2 Variant C.349A>G Is Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk and Carriers Share a Common Ancestor.
(MDPI, 2020-11-04)
The identification of recurrent founder variants in cancer predisposing genes may have important implications for implementing cost-effective targeted genetic screening strategies. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence ...
Marital status and prostate cancer incidence: a pooled analysis of 12 case-control studies from the PRACTICAL consortium.
(SPRINGER, 2021-07-18)
While being in a committed relationship is associated with a better prostate cancer prognosis, little is known about how marital status relates to its incidence. Social support provided by marriage/relationship could promote ...
The predictive ability of the 313 variant-based polygenic risk score for contralateral breast cancer risk prediction in women of European ancestry with a heterozygous BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic variant.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-06-10)
PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between a previously published 313 variant-based breast cancer (BC) polygenic risk score (PRS313) and contralateral breast cancer (CBC) risk, in BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant ...
