Immunosuppressive niche engineering at the onset of human colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-04-04)The evolutionary dynamics of tumor initiation remain undetermined, and the interplay between neoplastic cells and the immune system is hypothesized to be critical in transformation. Colorectal cancer (CRC) presents a unique ... -
Immunotherapy Sensitivity of Mismatch Repair-Deficient Cancer: Mutation Load Is Not Enough.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-01-11)Abundant neoantigens are considered responsible for the immunotherapy sensitivity of mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) cancers. In this issue of Cancer Cell, two papers show that MLH1 mismatch repair gene loss promotes ... -
Impact of a Panel of 88 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms on the Risk of Breast Cancer in High-Risk Women: Results From Two Randomized Tamoxifen Prevention Trials.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-03-01)Purpose At least 94 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are associated with breast cancer. The extent to which an SNP panel can refine risk in women who receive preventive therapy has not been directly assessed ... -
Impact of aromatase inhibitor treatment on global gene expression and its association with antiproliferative response in ER+ breast cancer in postmenopausal patients.
(BMC, 2019-12-31)BACKGROUND: Endocrine therapy reduces breast cancer mortality by 40%, but resistance remains a major clinical problem. In this study, we sought to investigate the impact of aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy on gene expression ... -
Impact of fusion gene status versus histology on risk-stratification for rhabdomyosarcoma: Retrospective analyses of patients on UK trials.
(WILEY, 2017-07-01)BACKGROUND: Long-term toxicities from current treatments are a major issue in paediatric cancer. Previous studies, including our own, have shown prognostic value for the presence of PAX3/7-FOXO1 fusion genes in rhabdomyosarcoma ... -
Impact of mitochondrial DNA mutations in multiple myeloma.

Impact of mutational profiles on response of primary oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancers to oestrogen deprivation.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2016-11-09)Pre-surgical studies allow study of the relationship between mutations and response of oestrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) but have been limited to small biopsies. Here in phase I ... -
Impact of the menstrual cycle on commercial prognostic gene signatures in oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-01)PURPOSE: Changes occur in the expression of oestrogen-regulated and proliferation-associated genes in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours during the menstrual cycle. We investigated if Oncotype® DX recurrence ... -
Impact of type of full-field digital image on mammographic density assessment and breast cancer risk estimation: a case-control study.
(2016-09-26)Background Full-field digital mammography, which is gradually being introduced in most clinical and screening settings, produces two types of images: raw and processed. However, the extent to which mammographic density ... -
Impact of Variable RNA-Sequencing Depth on Gene Expression Signatures and Target Compound Robustness: Case Study Examining Brain Tumor (Glioma) Disease Progression.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-09-13)PURPOSE: Gene expression profiling can uncover biologic mechanisms underlying disease and is important in drug development. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is routinely used to assess gene expression, but costs remain high. Sample ... -
Impairment of a distinct cancer-associated fibroblast population limits tumour growth and metastasis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-10)Profiling studies have revealed considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present within the tumour microenvironment, however, functional characterisation of different CAF subsets is ... -
Improving the Diagnostic Accuracy of the PD-L1 Test with Image Analysis and Multiplex Hybridization.
(MDPI, 2020-04-29)Targeting of the programmed cell death protein (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis with checkpoint inhibitors has changed clinical practice in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, clinical assessment ... -
Improving the multiple myeloma patient pathway: microsampling for remote monitoring of free light chains
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-01-24)Multiple myeloma (MM) is categorised as a relapsing-remitting blood cancer with unpredictable relapse patterns. Due to an inevitable relapse, blood test monitoring is crucial and requires frequent visits to the phlebotomy ... -
In Vivo Modeling of Chemoresistant Neuroblastoma Provides New Insights into Chemorefractory Disease and Metastasis.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-10-15)Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer that is frequently metastatic and resistant to conventional treatment. In part, a lack of natively metastatic, chemoresistant in vivo models has limited our insight into the development ... -
In-depth Clinical and Biological Exploration of DNA Damage Immune Response as a Biomarker for Oxaliplatin Use in Colorectal Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-01-01)PURPOSE: The DNA damage immune response (DDIR) assay was developed in breast cancer based on biology associated with deficiencies in homologous recombination and Fanconi anemia pathways. A positive DDIR call identifies ... -
Inactivating NF1 Mutations Are Enriched in Advanced Breast Cancer and Contribute to Endocrine Therapy Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-02-01)PURPOSE: Advanced breast cancer (ABC) has not been subjected to the same degree of molecular scrutiny as early primary cancer. Breast cancer evolves with time and under the selective pressure of treatment, with the potential ... -
Increasing the dose intensity of chemotherapy by more frequent administration or sequential scheduling: a patient-level meta-analysis of 37 298 women with early breast cancer in 26 randomised trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2019-04-06)BACKGROUND: Increasing the dose intensity of cytotoxic therapy by shortening the intervals between cycles, or by giving individual drugs sequentially at full dose rather than in lower-dose concurrent treatment schedules, ... -
Indisulam targets RNA splicing and metabolism to serve as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-03-16)Neuroblastoma is the most common paediatric solid tumour and prognosis remains poor for high-risk cases despite the use of multimodal treatment. Analysis of public drug sensitivity data showed neuroblastoma lines to be ...
