Dual IGF1R/IR inhibitors in combination with GD2-CAR T-cells display a potent anti-tumor activity in diffuse midline glioma H3K27M-mutant.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2022-07-01)BACKGROUND: Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) H3K27M-mutant, including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), are pediatric brain tumors associated with grim prognosis. Although GD2-CAR T-cells demonstrated significant ... -
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 ... -
Defining the mechanisms of multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in soft tissue sarcoma
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a rare, heterogeneous, and challenging group of cancers to treat effectively. The approval of pazopanib, as well as promising clinical trial data for a number of other multi-target tyrosine ... -
The perplexing role of immuno-oncology drugs in osteosarcoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-12-01)Osteosarcoma is a rare, primary tumour of bone. Curative treatment consists of multi-agent chemotherapy and complete surgical resection. Despite the use of multi-agent chemotherapy, the risk of recurrence is high. Survival ... -
FGF7-FGFR2 autocrine signaling increases growth and chemoresistance of fusion-positive rhabdomyosarcomas.
(WILEY, 2021-11-30)Rhabdomyosarcomas are aggressive pediatric soft-tissue sarcomas and include high-risk PAX3-FOXO1 fusion-gene-positive cases. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) is known to contribute to rhabdomyosarcoma progression; ... -
European experts consensus: BRCA/homologous recombination deficiency testing in first-line ovarian cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-03-01)BACKGROUND: Homologous recombination repair (HRR) enables fault-free repair of double-stranded DNA breaks. HRR deficiency is predicted to occur in around half of high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Ovarian cancers ... -
PARP Inhibitors - Trapped in a Toxic Love Affair.
It is often the case that when an investigational cancer drug first enters clinical development, its precise mechanism of action is unclear. This was the case for PARP inhibitors (PARPi) used to treat homologous ... -
Orthogonal MET analysis in a population-representative stage II-III colon cancer cohort: prognostic and potential therapeutic implications.
(WILEY, 2021-12-01)Clinical trials for MET inhibitors have demonstrated limited success for their use in colon cancer (CC). However, clinical efficacy may be obscured by a lack of standardisation in MET assessment for patient stratification. ... -
The ubiquitin-dependent ATPase p97 removes cytotoxic trapped PARP1 from chromatin.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-01-01)Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors elicit antitumour activity in homologous recombination-defective cancers by trapping PARP1 in a chromatin-bound state. How cells process trapped PARP1 remains unclear. Using ... -
EGFR Exon 20 Insertion Mutations in Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
(MDPI, 2022-01-13)Recurrent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations have been identified in a rare form of head and neck cancer known as sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), a malignant disease with a 5-year ... -
Circulating tumour DNA sequencing to determine therapeutic response and identify tumour heterogeneity in patients with paediatric solid tumours.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-12-18)OBJECTIVE: Clinical diagnostic sequencing of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is well advanced for adult patients, but application to paediatric cancer patients lags behind. METHODS: To address this, we have developed a ... -
The Extracellular Matrix in Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Pathobiology and Cellular Signalling.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-12-09)Soft tissue sarcomas are rare cancers of mesenchymal origin or differentiation comprising over 70 different histological subtypes. Due to their mesenchymal differentiation, sarcomas are thought to produce and deposit large ... -
Impact of the menstrual cycle on commercial prognostic gene signatures in oestrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-11-01)PURPOSE: Changes occur in the expression of oestrogen-regulated and proliferation-associated genes in oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast tumours during the menstrual cycle. We investigated if Oncotype® DX recurrence ... -
Efficacy and safety of larotrectinib in TRK fusion-positive primary central nervous system tumors
Abstract Background Larotrectinib is a first-in-class, highly selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor approved to treat adult and pediatric patients with TRK fusion-positive cancer. The aim of this study was ... -
Is surveillance imaging in pediatric patients treated for localized rhabdomyosarcoma useful? The European experience.
Background After the completion of therapy, patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are subjected to intensive radiological tumor surveillance. However, the clinical benefit of this surveillance is unclear. This ... -
Local staging and treatment in extremity rhabdomyosarcoma. A report from the EpSSG-RMS2005 study.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the extremities present with two main challenges: correct evaluation of initial regional nodal involvement and define adequate local treatment. Methods Pediatric patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma ... -
Semi-Quantitative Mass Spectrometry in AML Cells Identifies New Non-Genomic Targets of the EZH2 Methyltransferase.
(MDPI, 2017-07-05)Alterations to the gene encoding the EZH2 (KMT6A) methyltransferase, including both gain-of-function and loss-of-function, have been linked to a variety of haematological malignancies and solid tumours, suggesting a complex, ... -
The biguanide polyamine analog verlindamycin promotes differentiation in neuroblastoma via induction of antizyme.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-09-14)Deregulated polyamine biosynthesis is emerging as a common feature of neuroblastoma and drugs targeting this metabolic pathway such as DFMO are in clinical and preclinical development. The polyamine analog verlindamycin ... -
