Applications of intertumoural, intratumoural and intermolecular heterogeneity for personalised medicine in colorectal cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2020-03-31)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a heterogeneous disease, both at the molecular level and in the context of patients' responses to treatment. Few biomarkers are currently in place that can help to stratify patients in the clinical ...
Early Enrichment of ESR1 Mutations and the Impact on Gene Expression in Presurgical Primary Breast Cancer Treated with Aromatase Inhibitors.
(2019-12)
PURPOSE:To investigate the presence of ESR1 mutations in primary estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer treated with extended (>4 weeks) neoadjuvant (presurgical) aromatase inhibitor (NAI) therapy and to identify ...
RAS signalling through PI3-Kinase controls cell migration via modulation of Reelin expression.
(2016-04-13)
RAS signalling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-Kinase) has been shown to have an essential role in tumour initiation and maintenance. RAS also regulates cell motility and tumour invasiveness, but the role of direct ...
Combined targeting of G protein-coupled receptor and EGF receptor signaling overcomes resistance to PI3K pathway inhibitors in PTEN-null triple negative breast cancer.
(2020-08)
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poorer prognosis compared to other types of breast cancers due to the lack of effective therapies and markers for patient stratification. Loss of PTEN tumor suppressor gene expression ...
Biomarker analysis of the NeoSphere study: pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel versus trastuzumab plus docetaxel, pertuzumab plus trastuzumab, or pertuzumab plus docetaxel for the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.
(2017-02-09)
Background NeoSphere showed significantly higher pathologic complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel compared with trastuzumab plus docetaxel, pertuzumab plus trastuzumab, or pertuzumab ...
A translational study in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2019-11-30)
Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNENs) are rare, highly heterogeneous tumours. There have been significant recent advances in our knowledge of genomic events underlying their pathogenesis. However, treatment decisions ...
Disruption of the Interaction of RAS with PI 3-Kinase Induces Regression of EGFR-Mutant-Driven Lung Cancer.
(2018-12)
RAS family GTPases contribute directly to the regulation of type I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) via RAS-binding domains in the PI3K catalytic p110 subunits. Disruption of this domain of p110α impairs RAS-mutant-onc ...
Lineage-Independent Tumors in Bilateral Neuroblastoma.
(2020-11)
Childhood tumors that occur synchronously in different anatomical sites usually represent metastatic disease. However, such tumors can be independent neoplasms. We investigated whether cases of bilateral neuroblastoma ...
Detection of postoperative plasma circulating tumour DNA and lack of CDX2 expression as markers of recurrence in patients with localised colon cancer.
(2020-09)
Background Colon cancer (CC) is a heterogeneous disease. Novel prognostic factors beyond pathological staging are required to accurately identify patients at higher risk of relapse. Integrating these new biological factors, ...
Toronto Workshop on Late Recurrence in Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer: Part 2: Approaches to Predict and Identify Late Recurrence, Research Directions.
(2019-12)
Late disease recurrence (more than 5 years after initial diagnosis) represents a clinical challenge in the treatment and management of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer (BC). An international workshop was convened ...
