Drug repositioning in sarcomas and other rare tumors.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-03-17)
Direct involvement of retinoblastoma family proteins in DNA repair by non-homologous end-joining.
(CELL PRESS, 2015-03-31)
Deficiencies in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair lead to genetic instability, a recognized cause of cancer initiation and evolution. We report that the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (RB1) is required for DNA ...
Three-dimensional modelling identifies novel genetic dependencies associated with breast cancer progression in the isogenic MCF10 model.
(WILEY, 2016-11-01)
The initiation and progression of breast cancer from the transformation of the normal epithelium to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and invasive disease is a complex process involving the acquisition of genetic alterations ...
Pazopanib in patients with advanced intermediate-grade or high-grade liposarcoma.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-07-03)
Introduction: Liposarcomas (LPS) are a heterogeneous group of adipocytic soft tissue sarcomas with limited treatment options in the advanced/metastatic setting. Pazopanib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) ...
Olaratumab in soft tissue sarcoma - Current status and future perspectives.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-03-01)
Recent randomised phase II trial data have indicated that the addition of olaratumab, a novel monoclonal antibody against platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRα), to doxorubicin confers an unprecedented ...
Clinical and Molecular Spectrum of Liposarcoma.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-01-10)
Liposarcomas are rare malignant tumors of adipocytic differentiation. The classification of liposarcomas into four principal subtypes reflects the distinct clinical behavior, treatment sensitivity, and underlying biology ...
Efficacy of Gemcitabine-based Chemotherapy in Clear Cell Sarcoma of Soft Tissue.
(INT INST ANTICANCER RESEARCH, 2020-12-01)
BACKGROUND/AIM: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is an aggressive sarcoma subtype, resistant to conventional anthracycline-based chemotherapy and radiation. The diagnosis is often challenging due to similarities with malignant ...
The adequacy of tissue microarrays in the assessment of inter- and intra-tumoural heterogeneity of infiltrating lymphocyte burden in leiomyosarcoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-10-10)
The characterisation and clinical relevance of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in leiomyosarcoma (LMS), a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma that exhibits histological heterogeneity, is not established. The use of tissue ...
Rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer.
(ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020-04-01)
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are the second most common oncogenic driver event in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Classical activating mutations (exon 19 deletions and the L858R point mutation) ...
The landscape of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in sarcomas: looking beyond pazopanib.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2019-10-30)
Introduction: Tyrosine kinases are key mediators of intracellular signaling cascades and aberrations in these proteins have been implicated in driving oncogenesis through the dysregulation of fundamental cellular processes ...
