Mismatch Repair Deficiency, Microsatellite Instability, and Survival: An Exploratory Analysis of the Medical Research Council Adjuvant Gastric Infusional Chemotherapy (MAGIC) Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-09-01)IMPORTANCE: Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency (MMRD) and microsatellite instability (MSI) are prognostic for survival in many cancers and for resistance to fluoropyrimidines in early colon cancer. However, the effect of ... -
MNK Inhibition Sensitizes KRAS-Mutant Colorectal Cancer to mTORC1 Inhibition by Reducing eIF4E Phosphorylation and c-MYC Expression.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-05-01)KRAS-mutant colorectal cancers are resistant to therapeutics, presenting a significant problem for ∼40% of cases. Rapalogs, which inhibit mTORC1 and thus protein synthesis, are significantly less potent in KRAS-mutant ... -
Modeling Therapy Resistance in BRCA1/2-Mutant Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Although PARP inhibitors target BRCA1- or BRCA2-mutant tumor cells, drug resistance is a problem. PARP inhibitor resistance is sometimes associated with the presence of secondary or "revertant" mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 ... -
Modulation of Biliary Cancer Chemo-Resistance Through MicroRNA-Mediated Rewiring of the Expansion of CD133+ Cells.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-09-10)BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Changes in single microRNA (miRNA) expression have been associated with chemo-resistance in biliary tract cancers (BTCs). However, a global assessment of the dynamic role of the microRNome has never ... -
Modulation of pancreatic cancer cell sensitivity to FOLFIRINOX through microRNA-mediated regulation of DNA damage.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-11-18)FOLFIRINOX, a combination of chemotherapy drugs (Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan -FOI), provides the best clinical benefit in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. In this study we explore the role of ... -
Molecular changes in premenopausal oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer in Vietnamese women after oophorectomy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-11-27)For premenopausal women with primary ER + breast cancer, oophorectomy (OvX) is an evidence-based cost-effective option and is standard treatment in many countries. However, there is virtually no data describing the effects ... -
Molecular characterisation and functional assessment of FGFR3 mutations in cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-01-31)Genetic alterations such as mutations in the Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) family play important roles in the development and progression of several cancer types. How these mutations affect protein function ... -
Molecular characterisation of aromatase inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer: the phenotypic effect of ESR1 mutations.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-01-22)BACKGROUND: Several thousand breast cancer patients develop resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) each year in the UK. Rational treatment requires an improved molecular characterisation of resistant disease. MATERIALS ... -
Molecular Drivers of Oncotype DX, Prosigna, EndoPredict, and the Breast Cancer Index: A TransATAC Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-01-10)PURPOSE: The Oncotype DX Recurrence Score (RS), Prosigna Prediction Analysis of Microarray 50 (PAM50) Risk of Recurrence (ROR), EndoPredict (EP), and Breast Cancer Index (BCI) are used clinically for estimating risk of ... -
Molecular or Metabolic Reprograming: What Triggers Tumor Subtypes?
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-15)Tumor heterogeneity is reflected and influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic differences in cancer cells and their interactions with a complex microenvironment. This heterogeneity has resulted in the stratification ... -
Molecular profiling in desmoplastic small round cell tumours.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2023-04-01)Desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is an ultra-rare soft tissue sarcoma that is characterised by aggressive disease and dismal patient outcomes. Despite multi-modal therapy, prognosis remains poor and there are ... -
Molecular subtypes of leiomyosarcoma: Moving toward a consensus

Molecular, Pathological, Radiological, and Immune Profiling of Non-brainstem Pediatric High-Grade Glioma from the HERBY Phase II Randomized Trial.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-05-14)The HERBY trial was a phase II open-label, randomized, multicenter trial evaluating bevacizumab (BEV) in addition to temozolomide/radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed non-brainstem high-grade glioma (HGG) between ... -
MRI Imaging of the Hemodynamic Vasculature of Neuroblastoma Predicts Response to Antiangiogenic Treatment.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-06)Childhood neuroblastoma is a hypervascular tumor of neural origin, for which antiangiogenic drugs are currently being evaluated; however, predictive biomarkers of treatment response, crucial for successful delivery of ... -
MUKnine OPTIMUM protocol: a screening study to identify high-risk patients with multiple myeloma suitable for novel treatment approaches combined with a phase II study evaluating optimised combination of biological therapy in newly diagnosed high-risk multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukaemia.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-03-24)INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell tumour with over 5800 new cases each year in the UK. The introduction of biological therapies has improved outcomes for the majority of patients with MM, but in approximately ... -
Multiple mechanisms of MYCN dysregulation in Wilms tumour
(2015-03-01)Genomic gain of the proto-oncogene transcription factor gene MYCN is associated with poor prognosis in several childhood cancers. Here we present a comprehensive copy number analysis of MYCN in Wilms tumour (WT), demonstrating ... -
