Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for testicular cancer, including variants near DAZL and PRDM14.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-06-01)Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men and is notable for its high familial risks. So far, six loci associated with TGCT have been reported. From genome-wide association study (GWAS) ... -
Identifying Genetic Dependencies in Cancer by Analyzing siRNA Screens in Tumor Cell Line Panels.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2018-01-01)Loss-of-function screening using RNA interference or CRISPR approaches can be used to identify genes that specific tumor cell lines depend upon for survival. By integrating the results from screens in multiple cell lines ... -
Identifying key questions in the ecology and evolution of cancer.
(WILEY, 2021-02-08)The application of evolutionary and ecological principles to cancer prevention and treatment, as well as recognizing cancer as a selection force in nature, has gained impetus over the last 50 years. Following the initial ... -
Identifying mismatch repair-deficient colon cancer: near-perfect concordance between immunohistochemistry and microsatellite instability testing in a large, population-based series.
(WILEY, 2020-08-13)AIMS: Establishing the mismatch repair (MMR) status of colorectal cancers is important to enable the detection of underlying Lynch syndrome and inform prognosis and therapy. Current testing typically involves either ... -
IGF signalling in germ cells and testicular germ cell tumours: roles and therapeutic approaches.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis plays key roles in normal tissue growth and development as well as in the progression of several tumour types and their subsequent growth and progression to a metastatic phenotype. ... -
IGF1-mediated human embryonic stem cell self-renewal recapitulates the embryonic niche.
(2020-02-07)Our understanding of the signalling pathways regulating early human development is limited, despite their fundamental biological importance. Here, we mine transcriptomics datasets to investigate signalling in the human ... -
IGF1R signalling in testicular germ cell tumour cells impacts on cell survival and acquired cisplatin resistance.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most frequent malignancy and cause of death from solid tumours in the 20- to 40-year age group. Although most cases show sensitivity to cis-platinum-based chemotherapy, this is ... -
IKZF1 Deletions with COBL Breakpoints Are Not Driven by RAG-Mediated Recombination Events in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-05-01)IKZF1 deletion (ΔIKZF1) is an important predictor of relapse in both childhood and adult B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Previously, we revealed that COBL is a hotspot for breakpoints in leukemia and ... -
Imatinib and Nilotinib increase glioblastoma cell invasion via Abl-independent stimulation of p130Cas and FAK signalling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-06-13)Imatinib was the first targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor to be approved for clinical use, and remains first-line therapy for Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+)-positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia. We show that treatment of ... -
Immune activation by DNA damage predicts response to chemotherapy and survival in oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-11-01)OBJECTIVE: Current strategies to guide selection of neoadjuvant therapy in oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) are inadequate. We assessed the ability of a DNA damage immune response (DDIR) assay to predict response following ... -
Immune landscape, evolution, hypoxia-mediated viral mimicry pathways and therapeutic potential in molecular subtypes of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-09-03)OBJECTIVE: A comprehensive analysis of the immune landscape of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) was performed according to clinicopathological parameters and previously defined molecular subtypes to identify ... -
Immune selection determines tumor antigenicity and influences response to checkpoint inhibitors.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-03-01)In cancer, evolutionary forces select for clones that evade the immune system. Here we analyzed >10,000 primary tumors and 356 immune-checkpoint-treated metastases using immune dN/dS, the ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous ... -
Immune status is prognostic for poor survival in colorectal cancer patients and is associated with tumour hypoxia.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-13)BACKGROUND: Immunohistochemical quantification of the immune response is prognostic for colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we evaluate the suitability of alternative immune classifiers on prognosis and assess whether they ... -
Immune Surveillance in Clinical Regression of Preinvasive Squamous Cell Lung Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-01-01)Before squamous cell lung cancer develops, precancerous lesions can be found in the airways. From longitudinal monitoring, we know that only half of such lesions become cancer, whereas a third spontaneously regress. Although ... -
Immune-Based Therapies and the Role of Microsatellite Instability in Pancreatic Cancer.
(MDPI, 2020-12-29)Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options thus resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Among all cancers, with a five-year survival rates of only 2-9%, pancreatic cancer ... -
Immuno-PET in Pontine Glioma: More Than Meets the Eye?
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2018-04-01) -
Immunoassays for the quantification of ALK and phosphorylated ALK support the evaluation of on-target ALK inhibitors in neuroblastoma.
(WILEY, 2017-08-01)Targeted inhibition of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a successful approach for the treatment of many ALK-aberrant malignancies; however, the presence of resistant mutations necessitates both the development of more ... -
