Ultra-Sensitive Mutation Detection and Genome-Wide DNA Copy Number Reconstruction by Error-Corrected Circulating Tumor DNA Sequencing.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2018-08-27)
BACKGROUND: Circulating free DNA sequencing (cfDNA-Seq) can portray cancer genome landscapes, but highly sensitive and specific technologies are necessary to accurately detect mutations with often low variant frequencies. ...
Abiraterone shows alternate activity in models of endocrine resistant and sensitive disease.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Resistance to endocrine therapy remains a major clinical problem in the treatment of oestrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Studies show androgen-receptor (AR) remains present in 80-90% of metastatic ...
Systemic treatment of advanced clear cell sarcoma: results from a retrospective international series from the World Sarcoma Network.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a translocated aggressive malignancy with a high incidence of metastases and poor prognosis. There are few studies describing the activity of systemic therapy in CCS. We report a ...
Claudin-18 expression in oesophagogastric adenocarcinomas: a tissue microarray study of 523 molecularly profiled cases.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-07-30)
BACKGROUND: Claudin-18 (CLDN18) is a highly specific tight junction protein of the gastric mucosa. An isoform of CLDN18, the Claudin 18.2, has recently emerged as an innovative drug target for metastatic gastric cancer. ...
The mutational signatures of formalin fixation on the human genome.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-06)
Clinical archives of patient material near-exclusively consist of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. The ability to precisely characterise mutational signatures from FFPE-derived DNA has tremendous ...
Geospatial immune variability illuminates differential evolution of lung adenocarcinoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-07-01)
Remarkable progress in molecular analyses has improved our understanding of the evolution of cancer cells toward immune escape1-5. However, the spatial configurations of immune and stromal cells, which may shed light on ...
Discovery of naturally occurring ESR1 mutations in breast cancer cell lines modelling endocrine resistance.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-11-30)
Resistance to endocrine therapy remains a major clinical problem in breast cancer. Genetic studies highlight the potential role of estrogen receptor-α (ESR1) mutations, which show increased prevalence in the metastatic, ...
Molecular characterisation of aromatase inhibitor-resistant advanced breast cancer: the phenotypic effect of ESR1 mutations.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2019-01-22)
BACKGROUND: Several thousand breast cancer patients develop resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) each year in the UK. Rational treatment requires an improved molecular characterisation of resistant disease. MATERIALS ...
KRAS and BRAF mutations in circulating tumour DNA from locally advanced rectal cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-23)
There are limited data on circulating, cell-free, tumour (ct)DNA analysis in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Digital droplet (dd)PCR was used to investigate KRAS/BRAF mutations in ctDNA from baseline blood samples ...
A RAD51 assay feasible in routine tumor samples calls PARP inhibitor response beyond BRCA mutation.
(WILEY, 2018-12-01)
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) are effective in cancers with defective homologous recombination DNA repair (HRR), including BRCA1/2-related cancers. A test to identify additional HRR-deficient tumors ...
