Phase II, Open-Label, Randomized, Multicenter Trial (HERBY) of Bevacizumab in Pediatric Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Glioma.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2018-04-01)
Purpose Bevacizumab (BEV) is approved in more than 60 countries for use in adults with recurrent glioblastoma. We evaluated the addition of BEV to radiotherapy plus temozolomide (RT+TMZ) in pediatric patients with newly ...
DNA repair deficiency sensitizes lung cancer cells to NAD+ biosynthesis blockade.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL INVESTIGATION INC, 2018-04-02)
Synthetic lethality is an efficient mechanism-based approach to selectively target DNA repair defects. Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) deficiency is frequently found in non-small-cell lung cancer ...
The long non-coding RNA MYCNOS-01 regulates MYCN protein levels and affects growth of MYCN-amplified rhabdomyosarcoma and neuroblastoma cells.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2018-02-21)
BACKGROUND: MYCN is amplified in small cell lung cancers and several pediatric tumors, including alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas and neuroblastomas. MYCN protein is known to play a key oncogenic role in both alveolar rhabdomyosarcomas ...
Nothing in cancer makes sense except….
(BMC, 2018-02-21)
Paraphrasing Dobzhansky's famous dictum, I discuss how interrogating cancer through the lens of evolution has transformed our understanding of its development, causality and treatment resistance. The emerging picture of ...
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 ...
DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-03-22)
Accurate pathological diagnosis is crucial for optimal management of patients with cancer. For the approximately 100 known tumour types of the central nervous system, standardization of the diagnostic process has been shown ...
Inhibition of GPR158 by microRNA-449a suppresses neural lineage of glioma stem/progenitor cells and correlates with higher glioma grades.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-08-02)
To identify biomarkers for glioma growth, invasion and progression, we used a candidate gene approach in mouse models with two complementary brain tumour phenotypes, developing either slow-growing, diffusely infiltrating ...
A causal mechanism for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-08-01)
In this Review, I present evidence supporting a multifactorial causation of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a major subtype of paediatric cancer. ALL evolves in two discrete steps. First, in utero initiation ...
The subclonal complexity of STIL-TAL1+ T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-09-01)
Single-cell genetics were used to interrogate clonal complexity and the sequence of mutational events in STIL-TAL1+ T-ALL. Single-cell multicolour FISH was used to demonstrate that the earliest detectable leukaemia subclone ...
Origins of STIL-TAL1 fusion genes in children who later developed paediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: An investigation of neonatal blood spots.
(Wiley, 2018-11-01)
SCL/TAL1 interrupting locus (STIL)-T-cell acute leukaemia (TAL1) fusion genes are present in approximately 11-27% of children with paediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), but the developmental timing of ...
