Constitutional mutation in CDKN2A is associated with long term survivorship in multiple myeloma: a case report.
(BMC, 2017-11-06)
BACKGROUND: Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells associated with significantly reduced survival. Long term survivorship from myeloma is very rare and despite advances in its treatment the disease is generally ...
Pediatric and adult glioblastoma radiosensitization induced by PI3K/mTOR inhibition causes early metabolic alterations detected by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-07-18)
Poor outcome for patients with glioblastomas is often associated with radioresistance. PI3K/mTOR pathway deregulation has been correlated with radioresistance; therefore, PI3K/mTOR inhibition could render tumors radiosensitive. ...
ATR Is a Therapeutic Target in Synovial Sarcoma.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-12-15)
Synovial sarcoma (SS) is an aggressive soft-tissue malignancy characterized by expression of SS18-SSX fusions, where treatment options are limited. To identify therapeutically actionable genetic dependencies in SS, we ...
Characterisation of the immune-related transcriptome in resected biliary tract cancers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-11-01)
UNLABELLED: Although biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are known to have an inflammatory component, a detailed characterisation of immune-related transcripts has never been performed. In these studies, nCounter PanCancer Immune ...
Palbociclib Combined with Fulvestrant in Premenopausal Women with Advanced Breast Cancer and Prior Progression on Endocrine Therapy: PALOMA-3 Results.
(WILEY, 2017-09-01)
BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, combined with fulvestrant and goserelin was assessed in premenopausal women with advanced breast cancer (ABC) who had progressed ...
Neural Precursor-Derived Pleiotrophin Mediates Subventricular Zone Invasion by Glioma.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-08-24)
The lateral ventricle subventricular zone (SVZ) is a frequent and consequential site of pediatric and adult glioma spread, but the cellular and molecular mechanisms mediating this are poorly understood. We demonstrate that ...
A Compendium of Co-regulated Protein Complexes in Breast Cancer Reveals Collateral Loss Events.
(CELL PRESS, 2017-10-25)
Protein complexes are responsible for the bulk of activities within the cell, but how their behavior and abundance varies across tumors remains poorly understood. By combining proteomic profiles of breast tumors with a ...
Neutral tumor evolution in myeloma is associated with poor prognosis.
(AMER SOC HEMATOLOGY, 2017-10-05)
Recent studies suggest that the evolutionary history of a cancer is important in forecasting clinical outlook. To gain insight into the clonal dynamics of multiple myeloma (MM) and its possible influence on patient outcomes, ...
Assessing the effect of obesity-related traits on multiple myeloma using a Mendelian randomisation approach.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-06-16)
Gene expression modules in primary breast cancers as risk factors for organotropic patterns of first metastatic spread: a case control study.
(BMC, 2017-10-13)
BACKGROUND: Metastases from primary breast cancers can involve single or multiple organs at metastatic disease diagnosis. Molecular risk factors for particular patterns of metastastic spread in a clinical population are ...
