Adverse event management in the TOURMALINE-MM3 study of post-transplant ixazomib maintenance in multiple myeloma.
(SPRINGER, 2020-08-01)The phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled TOURMALINE-MM3 study (NCT02181413) demonstrated improved progression-free survival with ixazomib maintenance versus placebo post autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) in ... -
ALK2 inhibitors display beneficial effects in preclinical models of ACVR1 mutant diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-05-09)Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a lethal childhood brainstem tumour, with a quarter of patients harbouring somatic mutations in ACVR1, encoding the serine/threonine kinase ALK2. Despite being an amenable drug ... -
Amino acid dependence in acute myeloid leukaemia
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2022-05-31)Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease which remains curable in only a minority of patients. Outcome is dismal in the subgroup with adverse genetic features. Amino acid (AA) depletion is a therapeutic ... -
Amivantamab for the treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-01-02)INTRODUCTION: Amivantamab is a monoclonal bispecific anti-EGFR-MET antibody that is the first targeted therapy to be approved for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations ... -
An ecological measure of immune-cancer colocalization as a prognostic factor for breast cancer.
(BMC, 2015-09-22)INTRODUCTION: Abundance of immune cells has been shown to have prognostic and predictive significance in many tumor types. Beyond abundance, the spatial organization of immune cells in relation to cancer cells may also ... -
An enhanced genetic model of relapsed IGH-translocated multiple myeloma evolutionary dynamics.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-14)Most patients with multiple myeloma (MM) die from progressive disease after relapse. To advance our understanding of MM evolution mechanisms, we performed whole-genome sequencing of 80 IGH-translocated tumour-normal newly ... -
An In Vivo Functional Screen Identifies JNK Signaling As a Modulator of Chemotherapeutic Response in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced breast cancer; however, resistance is an inevitable event for the majority of patients with metastatic disease. Moreover, there is little information available ... -
Anal squamous cell carcinoma in a high HIV prevalence population.
(SPRINGER, 2021-02-11)Anal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare cancer that has a rapidly increasing incidence in areas with highly developed economies. ASCC is strongly associated with HIV and there appears to be increasing numbers of ... -
Analysis of Circulating Cell-Free DNA Identifies Multiclonal Heterogeneity of BRCA2 Reversion Mutations Associated with Resistance to PARP Inhibitors.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)Approximately 20% of metastatic prostate cancers harbor mutations in genes required for DNA repair by homologous recombination repair (HRR) such as BRCA2 HRR defects confer synthetic lethality to PARP inhibitors (PARPi) ... -
Analysis of novel therapeutic options for adenoid cystic carcinoma of the salivary glands
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-04-30)Adenoid cystic adenocarcinoma (ACC) of the salivary glands is characterised by slow growth, frequent metastasis and low survival rates. ACC is resistant to conventional chemotherapy and currently, no systemic agent has ... -
Analysis of tumour ecological balance reveals resource-dependent adaptive strategies of ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2019-10-21)BACKGROUND: Despite treatment advances, there remains a significant risk of recurrence in ovarian cancer, at which stage it is usually incurable. Consequently, there is a clear need for improved patient stratification. ... -
Analytical validation of a standardised scoring protocol for Ki67 immunohistochemistry on breast cancer excision whole sections: an international multicentre collaboration.
(2019-08)Aims The nuclear proliferation marker Ki67 assayed by immunohistochemistry has multiple potential uses in breast cancer, but an unacceptable level of interlaboratory variability has hampered its clinical utility. The ... -
Analytical Validation of Multiplex Biomarker Assay to Stratify Colorectal Cancer into Molecular Subtypes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-05-21)Previously, we classified colorectal cancers (CRCs) into five CRCAssigner (CRCA) subtypes with different prognoses and potential treatment responses, later consolidated into four consensus molecular subtypes (CMS). Here ... -
Androgen receptor expression in circulating tumour cells from castration-resistant prostate cancer patients treated with novel endocrine agents.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-03-31)BACKGROUND: Abiraterone and enzalutamide are novel endocrine treatments that abrogate androgen receptor (AR) signalling in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Here, we developed a circulating tumour cells (CTCs)-based ... -
Androgen receptor gene status in plasma DNA associates with worse outcome on enzalutamide or abiraterone for castration-resistant prostate cancer: a multi-institution correlative biomarker study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-07-01)BACKGROUND: There is an urgent need to identify biomarkers to guide personalized therapy in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). We aimed to clinically qualify androgen receptor (AR) gene status measurement in ... -
Androgen receptor-modulatory microRNAs provide insight into therapy resistance and therapeutic targets in advanced prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-07-11)Androgen receptor (AR) signalling is a key prostate cancer (PC) driver, even in advanced 'castrate-resistant' disease (CRPC). To systematically identify microRNAs (miRs) modulating AR activity in lethal disease, ... -
Antigen retrieval and clearing for whole-organ immunofluorescence by FLASH.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2020-11-27)Advances in light-sheet and confocal microscopy now allow imaging of cleared large biological tissue samples and enable the 3D appreciation of cell and protein localization in their native organ environment. However, the ... -
Applications of intertumoural, intratumoural and intermolecular heterogeneity for personalised medicine in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-03-31)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease, both at the molecular level and in the context of patients' responses to treatment. Few biomarkers are currently in place that can help to stratify patients in the clinical ... -
ARAF suppresses ERBB3 expression and metastasis in a subset of lung cancers.
