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 ...
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) ...
Tropomyosin receptor kinase inhibitors in the management of sarcomas.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2020-06-05)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Genetic aberrations resulting in tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion proteins can drive oncogenesis and are postulated to occur in up to 1% of solid tumours. However, TRK fusions in adult sarcomas ...
Proteomic profiling of soft tissue sarcomas with SWATH mass spectrometry.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06-15)
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of rare and heterogeneous cancers. While large-scale genomic and epigenomic profiling of STS have been undertaken, proteomic analysis has thus far been limited. Here we utilise ...
Amivantamab for the treatment of EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant non-small cell lung cancer.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-01-02)
INTRODUCTION: Amivantamab is a monoclonal bispecific anti-EGFR-MET antibody that is the first targeted therapy to be approved for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations ...
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 ...
Ripretinib in advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors: an overview of current evidence and drug approval.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2022-07-26)
Over the past 20 years, the management of gastrointestinal stromal tumors has acted as an important model in the advancement of molecularly targeted therapies for solid tumors. The success of imatinib has established it ...
The biology and treatment of leiomyosarcomas.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2023-04-01)
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a soft tissue sarcoma of smooth muscle origin that can arise in multiple anatomical sites and is broadly classified as extra-uterine LMS or uterine LMS. There is substantial interpatient heterogeneity ...
Molecular profiling in desmoplastic small round cell tumours.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2023-04-01)
Desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT) is an ultra-rare soft tissue sarcoma that is characterised by aggressive disease and dismal patient outcomes. Despite multi-modal therapy, prognosis remains poor and there are ...
Proteomic and Metabolomic Profiling in Soft Tissue Sarcomas.
(SPRINGER, 2022-02-16)
Advances in proteomic and metabolomic technologies have accelerated our understanding of multiple aspects of cancer biology across distinct tumour types. Here we review the current state-of-the-art in the use of proteomics ...
