Plasma ESR1 Mutations and the Treatment of Estrogen Receptor-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer.
(2016-09)
Purpose ESR1 mutations are selected by prior aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer. We assessed the impact of ESR1 mutations on sensitivity to standard therapies in two phase III randomized trials that ...
Assessment of the contribution of the IHC4+C score to decision making in clinical practice in early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2012-05-22)
BACKGROUND: The immunohistochemical (IHC) 4+C score is a cost-effective prognostic tool that uses clinicopathologic factors and four standard IHC assays: oestrogen receptor (ER), PR, HER2 and Ki67. We assessed its utility ...
ESR1 Mutations and Overall Survival on Fulvestrant versus Exemestane in Advanced Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: A Combined Analysis of the Phase III SoFEA and EFECT Trials.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-10-01)
PURPOSE: ESR1 mutations are acquired frequently in hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer after prior aromatase inhibitors. We assessed the clinical utility of baseline ESR1 circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis ...
High-Level Clonal FGFR Amplification and Response to FGFR Inhibition in a Translational Clinical Trial.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-08-01)
UNLABELLED: FGFR1 and FGFR2 are amplified in many tumor types, yet what determines response to FGFR inhibition in amplified cancers is unknown. In a translational clinical trial, we show that gastric cancers with high-level ...
Mutation tracking in circulating tumor DNA predicts relapse in early breast cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-08-26)
The identification of early-stage breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse would allow tailoring of adjuvant therapy approaches. We assessed whether analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma can be used to ...
Efficient Genotyping of KRAS Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using a Multiplexed Droplet Digital PCR Approach.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-09-28)
Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) can be used to detect low frequency mutations in oncogene-driven lung cancer. The range of KRAS point mutations observed in NSCLC necessitates a multiplex approach to efficient mutation detection ...
Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-22)
Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men. Here we perform whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 42 TGCTs to comprehensively study the cancer's mutational profile. The mutation rate is uniformly ...
"Real-world" radiomics from multi-vendor MRI: an original retrospective study on the prediction of nodal status and disease survival in breast cancer, as an exemplar to promote discussion of the wider issues.
(BMC, 2021-05-20)
BACKGROUND: Most MRI radiomics studies to date, even multi-centre ones, have used "pure" datasets deliberately accrued from single-vendor, single-field-strength scanners. This does not reflect aspirations for the ultimate ...
Triplet Therapy with Palbociclib, Taselisib, and Fulvestrant in PIK3CA-Mutant Breast Cancer and Doublet Palbociclib and Taselisib in Pathway-Mutant Solid Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-01-01)
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) and PI3K inhibitors synergize in PIK3CA-mutant ER-positive HER2-negative breast cancer models. We conducted a phase Ib trial investigating the safety and efficacy of doublet CDK4/6 ...
Genomic profile of advanced breast cancer in circulating tumour DNA.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-04-23)
The genomics of advanced breast cancer (ABC) has been described through tumour tissue biopsy sequencing, although these approaches are limited by geographical and temporal heterogeneity. Here we use plasma circulating ...
