Exploiting evolutionary steering to induce collateral drug sensitivity in cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-21)
Drug resistance mediated by clonal evolution is arguably the biggest problem in cancer therapy today. However, evolving resistance to one drug may come at a cost of decreased fecundity or increased sensitivity to another ...
Prediction of Benefit from Checkpoint Inhibitors in Mismatch Repair Deficient Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Role of Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes.
(WILEY, 2020-01-22)
BACKGROUND: Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is highly effective in microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC); however, specific predictive biomarkers are lacking. ...
EGFR amplification and outcome in a randomised phase III trial of chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus panitumumab for advanced gastro-oesophageal cancers.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-11-16)
OBJECTIVE: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibition may be effective in biomarker-selected populations of advanced gastro-oesophageal adenocarcinoma (aGEA) patients. Here, we tested the association between outcome ...
A Review of Clinical Practice Guidelines and Treatment Recommendations for Cancer Care in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
(MDPI, 2020-08-29)
The COVID-19 pandemic has inevitably caused those involved in cancer care to change clinical practice in order to minimize the risk of infection while maintaining cancer treatment as a priority. General advice during the ...
Vault RNAs: hidden gems in RNA and protein regulation.
(SPRINGER BASEL AG, 2020-10-15)
Non-coding RNAs are important regulators of differentiation during embryogenesis as well as key players in the fine-tuning of transcription and furthermore, they control the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNAs under ...
MicroRNAs as mediators of drug resistance mechanisms.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-10-01)
MicroRNAs are small RNA transcripts involved in fine-tuning of several cellular mechanisms and pathways crucial for maintaining cells' homeostasis like apoptosis, differentiation, inflammation and cell-cycle regulation. ...
Diagnostic Accuracy and Safety of Coaxial System in Oncology Patients Treated in a Specialist Cancer Center With Prospective Validation Within Clinical Trial Data.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2020-09-04)
BACKGROUND: Image-guided tissue biopsies are critically important in the diagnosis and management of cancer patients. High-yield samples are also vital for biomarker and resistance mechanism discovery through molecular/genomic ...
Immune-Based Therapies and the Role of Microsatellite Instability in Pancreatic Cancer.
(MDPI, 2020-12-29)
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive malignancies with limited treatment options thus resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Among all cancers, with a five-year survival rates of only 2-9%, pancreatic cancer ...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as New Tools for Cancer Therapy: First Steps from Bench to Bedside.
(SPRINGER, 2020-06-01)
Non-coding RNAs represent a significant proportion of the human genome. After having been considered as 'junk' for a long time, non-coding RNAs are now well established as playing important roles in maintaining cellular ...
EGFR Blockade Reverts Resistance to KRASG12C Inhibition in Colorectal Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-08-01)
Most patients with KRAS G12C-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) experience clinical benefit from selective KRASG12C inhibition, whereas patients with colorectal cancer bearing the same mutation rarely respond. To ...
