Predictive and prognostic transcriptomic biomarkers in soft tissue sarcomas.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-05)Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and heterogeneous tumours comprising over 80 different histological subtypes. Treatment options remain limited in advanced STS with high rates of recurrence following resection of localised ... -
Primary Cilia Mediate Diverse Kinase Inhibitor Resistance Mechanisms in Cancer.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-06-05)Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that detect mechanical and chemical stimuli. Although cilia house a number of oncogenic molecules (including Smoothened, KRAS, EGFR, and PDGFR), their precise role in cancer ... -
Pro-inflammatory cytokines favor the emergence of ETV6-RUNX1-positive pre-leukemic cells in a model of mesenchymal niche.
(Wiley, 2020-01-01)ETV6-RUNX1 (E/R) fusion gene, arising in utero from translocation t(12;21)(p13:q22), is the most frequent alteration in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, E/R is insufficient to cause overt leukemia ... -
Pro-inflammatory fatty acid profile and colorectal cancer risk: A Mendelian randomisation analysis.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-10-01)BACKGROUND: While dietary fat has been established as a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), associations between fatty acids (FAs) and CRC have been inconsistent. Using Mendelian randomisation (MR), we sought to ... -
Prognostic and predictive impact of consensus molecular subtypes and CRCAssigner classifications in metastatic colorectal cancer: a translational analysis of the TRIBE2 study.
(2021-03-03)Introduction The consensus molecular subtypes (CMS) demonstrated prognostic value in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Similarly, a prognostic impact was suggested for the pre-consensus CRCAssigner (CRCA) classifier in ... -
Prognostic role of the LCS6 KRAS variant in locally advanced rectal cancer: results of the EXPERT-C trial.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2015-09-01)BACKGROUND: Lethal-7 (let-7) is a tumour suppressor miRNA which acts by down-regulating several oncogenes including KRAS. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs61764370, T > G base substitution) in the let-7 complementary ... -
Prognostic value of automated KI67 scoring in breast cancer: a centralised evaluation of 8088 patients from 10 study groups.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-10-18)BACKGROUND: The value of KI67 in breast cancer prognostication has been questioned due to concerns on the analytical validity of visual KI67 assessment and methodological limitations of published studies. Here, we investigate ... -
Prognostic Value of EndoPredict in Women with Hormone Receptor-Positive, HER2-Negative Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-09-01)PURPOSE: Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) accounts for approximately 5%-15% of all invasive breast cancer cases. Most of the correlations between multigene assays and patient outcome were derived from studies based on ... -
Prognostic value of pathological lymph node status and primary tumour regression grading following neoadjuvant chemotherapy - results from the MRC OE02 oesophageal cancer trial.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)AIMS: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remains an important therapeutic option for advanced oesophageal cancer (OC). Pathological tumour regression grade (TRG) may offer additional information by directing adjuvant treatment ... -
Promoter capture Hi-C-based identification of recurrent noncoding mutations in colorectal cancer.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)Efforts are being directed to systematically analyze the non-coding regions of the genome for cancer-driving mutations1-6. cis-regulatory elements (CREs) represent a highly enriched subset of the non-coding regions of the ... -
Prostate-specific Antigen Decline After 4 Weeks of Treatment with Abiraterone Acetate and Overall Survival in Patients with Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-11-01)BACKGROUND: The availability of multiple new treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) mandates earlier treatment switches in the absence of a response. A decline in prostate-specific antigen ... -
Proteomic and Metabolomic Profiling in Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
(SPRINGER, 2022-02-16)Advances in proteomic and metabolomic technologies have accelerated our understanding of multiple aspects of cancer biology across distinct tumour types. Here we review the current state-of-the-art in the use of proteomics ... -
Proteomic profiling of soft tissue sarcomas with SWATH mass spectrometry.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06-15)Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of rare and heterogeneous cancers. While large-scale genomic and epigenomic profiling of STS have been undertaken, proteomic analysis has thus far been limited. Here we utilise ... -
Proteomic research in sarcomas - current status and future opportunities.
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-04-01)Sarcomas are a rare group of mesenchymal cancers comprising over 70 different histological subtypes. For the majority of these diseases, the molecular understanding of the basis of their initiation and progression remains ... -
Proteomics of REPLICANT perfusate detects changes in the metastatic lymph node microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-03-05)In breast cancer (BC), detecting low volumes of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis pre-operatively is difficult and novel biomarkers are needed. We recently showed that patient-derived ALNs can be sustained ex-vivo using ... -
Proteomics uncover EPHA2 as a potential novel therapeutic target in colorectal cancer cell lines with acquired cetuximab resistance.
(SPRINGER, 2022-11-19)BACKGROUND: In metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), acquired resistance against anti-EGFR targeted monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab (CET), was shown to be frequently caused by activating alterations in the RAS genes ... -
Protracted dormancy of pre-leukemic stem cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-11-01)Cancer stem cells can escape therapeutic killing by adopting a quiescent or dormant state. The reversibility of this condition provides the potential for later recurrence or relapse, potentially many years later. We describe ... -
Pten Regulates Epithelial Cytodifferentiation during Prostate Development.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-06-15)Gene expression and functional studies have indicated that the molecular programmes involved in prostate development are also active in prostate cancer. PTEN has been implicated in human prostate cancer and is frequently ... -
