Landscapes of cellular phenotypic diversity in breast cancer xenografts and their impact on drug response.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-31)The heterogeneity of breast cancer plays a major role in drug response and resistance and has been extensively characterized at the genomic level. Here, a single-cell breast cancer mass cytometry (BCMC) panel is optimized ... -
Large-scale Analysis Demonstrates Familial Testicular Cancer to have Polygenic Aetiology.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018-09-01)UNLABELLED: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men. Multiplex TGCT families have been well reported and analyses of population cancer registries have demonstrated a four- to eightfold ... -
Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-04-01)Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ∼9% of the familial risk of the disease. We ... -
Large-Scale Profiling of Kinase Dependencies in Cancer Cell Lines.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-03-15)One approach to identifying cancer-specific vulnerabilities and therapeutic targets is to profile genetic dependencies in cancer cell lines. Here, we describe data from a series of siRNA screens that identify the kinase ... -
Large-scale Sequencing of Testicular Germ Cell Tumour (TGCT) Cases Excludes Major TGCT Predisposition Gene.
(2018-06)Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT), the most common cancer in young men, has a significant heritable basis that has long raised questions as to the existence of underlying major high-penetrance susceptibility gene(s). To ... -
Late recurrence in ER+ breast cancer - refining risk prediction beyond 5 years
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)ER positive (ER+) breast cancer has the potential to recur many years following diagnosis. Predicting who is most at risk of recurrence and when this may occur is complex. Risk prediction incorporates clinical, pathological ... -
Lenalidomide before and after autologous stem cell transplantation for transplant-eligible patients of all ages in the randomized, phase III, Myeloma XI trial.
(FERRATA STORTI FOUNDATION, 2021-07-01)The optimal way to use immunomodulatory drugs as components of induction and maintenance therapy for multiple myeloma is unresolved. We addressed this question in a large phase III randomized trial, Myeloma XI. Patients ... -
Lenalidomide maintenance versus observation for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (Myeloma XI): a multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-01-01)BACKGROUND: Patients with multiple myeloma treated with lenalidomide maintenance therapy have improved progression-free survival, primarily following autologous stem-cell transplantation. A beneficial effect of lenalidomide ... -
Lineage tracing in human tissues.
(WILEY, 2022-05-05)The dynamical process of cell division that underpins homeostasis in the human body cannot be directly observed in vivo, but instead is measurable from the pattern of somatic genetic or epigenetic mutations that accrue in ... -
Lineage-Independent Tumors in Bilateral Neuroblastoma.
(2020-11)Childhood tumors that occur synchronously in different anatomical sites usually represent metastatic disease. However, such tumors can be independent neoplasms. We investigated whether cases of bilateral neuroblastoma ... -
Lkb1 Deficiency Alters Goblet and Paneth Cell Differentiation in the Small Intestine
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2009-01)The Lkb1 tumour suppressor is a multitasking kinase participating in a range of physiological processes. We have determined the impact of Lkb1 deficiency on intestinal homeostasis, particularly focussing on secretory cell ... -
LKB1 is required for hepatic bile acid transport and canalicular membrane integrity in mice.
(2011-02)LKB1 is a 'master' protein kinase implicated in the regulation of metabolism, cell proliferation, cell polarity and tumorigenesis. However, the long-term role of LKB1 in hepatic function is unknown. In the present study, ... -
Local excision and treatment of early node-negative anal squamous cell carcinomas in a highly HIV prevalent population.
(SPRINGER-VERLAG ITALIA SRL, 2021-06-12)BACKGROUND: Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is an uncommon cancer associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. There has been increasing interest in providing organ-sparing treatment in small node-negative ... -
Local staging and treatment in extremity rhabdomyosarcoma. A report from the EpSSG-RMS2005 study.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the extremities present with two main challenges: correct evaluation of initial regional nodal involvement and define adequate local treatment. Methods Pediatric patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma ... -
LONG-NONCODING RNAs in gastroesophageal cancers.
(Elsevier BV, 2018-12-01)Despite continuing improvements in multimodal therapies, gastro-esophageal malignances remain widely prevalent in the population and is characterized by poor overall and disease-free survival rates. Due to the lack of ... -
Long-term outcome and prognostic value of Ki67 after perioperative endocrine therapy in postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer (POETIC): an open-label, multicentre, parallel-group, randomised, phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-11-01)BACKGROUND: Preoperative and perioperative aromatase inhibitor (POAI) therapy has the potential to improve outcomes in women with operable oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer. It has also been suggested that ... -
Long-term outcomes for neoadjuvant versus adjuvant chemotherapy in early breast cancer: meta-analysis of individual patient data from ten randomised trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for early breast cancer can make breast-conserving surgery more feasible and might be more likely to eradicate micrometastatic disease than might the same chemotherapy given after ... -
Longitudinal analysis of a secondary BRCA2 mutation using digital droplet PCR.
(WILEY, 2019-11-20)Development of resistance to platinum and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors via secondary BRCA gene mutations that restore functional homologous recombination has been observed in a number of cancer types. Here we ... -
Longitudinal Liquid Biopsy and Mathematical Modeling of Clonal Evolution Forecast Time to Treatment Failure in the PROSPECT-C Phase II Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trial.
