Directing the use of DDR kinase inhibitors in cancer treatment.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2017-12-01)
Defects in the DNA damage response (DDR) drive the development of cancer by fostering DNA mutation but also provide cancer-specific vulnerabilities that can be exploited therapeutically. The recent approval of three different ...
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 ...
Combined MYC and P53 defects emerge at medulloblastoma relapse and define rapidly progressive, therapeutically targetable disease.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-01-12)
We undertook a comprehensive clinical and biological investigation of serial medulloblastoma biopsies obtained at diagnosis and relapse. Combined MYC family amplifications and P53 pathway defects commonly emerged at relapse, ...
Pre-clinical imaging of transgenic mouse models of neuroblastoma using a dedicated 3-element solenoid coil on a clinical 3T platform.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-05)
BACKGROUND: The use of clinical MRI scanners to conduct pre-clinical research facilitates comparisons with clinical studies. Here the utility and sensitivity of anatomical and functional MRI data/biomarkers acquired from ...
Mapping genetic vulnerabilities reveals BTK as a novel therapeutic target in oesophageal cancer.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-10-01)
OBJECTIVE: Oesophageal cancer is the seventh most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Disease relapse is frequent and treatment options are limited. DESIGN: To identify new biomarker-defined therapeutic approaches ...
Genome-wide barcoded transposon screen for cancer drug sensitivity in haploid mouse embryonic stem cells.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-03-01)
We describe a screen for cellular response to drugs that makes use of haploid embryonic stem cells. We generated ten libraries of mutants with piggyBac gene trap transposon integrations, totalling approximately 100,000 ...
Synthetic Lethal Targeting of ARID1A-Mutant Ovarian Clear Cell Tumors with Dasatinib.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-07-01)
New targeted approaches to ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC) are needed, given the limited treatment options in this disease and the poor response to standard chemotherapy. Using a series of high-throughput cell-based ...
An In Vivo Functional Screen Identifies JNK Signaling As a Modulator of Chemotherapeutic Response in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)
Chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for advanced breast cancer; however, resistance is an inevitable event for the majority of patients with metastatic disease. Moreover, there is little information available ...
Gefitinib and EGFR Gene Copy Number Aberrations in Esophageal Cancer.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-07-10)
Purpose The Cancer Esophagus Gefitinib trial demonstrated improved progression-free survival with the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor gefitinib relative to placebo in patients with advanced ...
The biology and treatment of leiomyosarcomas.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-04-01)
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma of smooth muscle origin that can arise in multiple anatomical sites and is broadly classified as extra-uterine LMS or uterine LMS. There is substantial interpatient heterogeneity ...
