Local excision and treatment of early node-negative anal squamous cell carcinomas in a highly HIV prevalent population.
(SPRINGER-VERLAG ITALIA SRL, 2021-06-12)BACKGROUND: Anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is an uncommon cancer associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. There has been increasing interest in providing organ-sparing treatment in small node-negative ... -
Frequency and Prognostic Impact of ALK Amplifications and Mutations in the European Neuroblastoma Study Group (SIOPEN) High-Risk Neuroblastoma Trial (HR-NBL1).
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-10-20)PURPOSE: In neuroblastoma (NB), the ALK receptor tyrosine kinase can be constitutively activated through activating point mutations or genomic amplification. We studied ALK genetic alterations in high-risk (HR) patients ... -
A phospho-proteomic study of cetuximab resistance in KRAS/NRAS/BRAFV600 wild-type colorectal cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2021-08-30)PURPOSE: We hypothesised that plasticity in signal transduction may be a mechanism of drug resistance and tested this hypothesis in the setting of cetuximab resistance in patients with KRAS/NRAS/BRAFV600 wild-type colorectal ... -
Ductal Ngn3-expressing progenitors contribute to adult β cell neogenesis in the pancreas.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-11-04)Ductal cells have been proposed as a source of adult β cell neogenesis, but this has remained controversial. By combining lineage tracing, 3D imaging, and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) approaches, we show that ... -
Biological Role of MYCN in Medulloblastoma: Novel Therapeutic Opportunities and Challenges Ahead.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-06-14)The constitutive and dysregulated expression of the transcription factor MYCN has a central role in the pathogenesis of the paediatric brain tumour medulloblastoma, with an increased expression of this oncogene correlating ... -
Histamine signaling and metabolism identify potential biomarkers and therapies for lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
(WILEY, 2021-09-07)Inhibition of mTOR is the standard of care for lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). However, this therapy has variable tolerability and some patients show progressive decline of lung function despite treatment. LAM diagnosis ... -
PARP1 Inhibitor Combined With Oxaliplatin Efficiently Suppresses Oxaliplatin Resistance in Gastric Cancer-Derived Organoids via Homologous Recombination and the Base Excision Repair Pathway.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-08-23)Oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance in the treatment of different types of cancer is an important and complex problem. The culture of tumor organoids derived from gastric cancer can help us to provide a deeper understanding of ... -
MicroRNAs as biomarkers of response to HER2 inhibitors in gastro-oesophageal cancers
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy represents the standard of care in HER2-positive advanced gastro-oesophageal cancer (GOC), but development of resistance limits response. MicroRNAs (miRs) modulate key pathways ... -
Polθ inhibitors elicit BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and target PARP inhibitor resistance.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-06-17)To identify approaches to target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ... -
The PTEN and ATM axis controls the G1/S cell cycle checkpoint and tumorigenesis in HER2-positive breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-05-31)The tumor suppressor PTEN is disrupted in a large proportion of cancers, including in HER2-positive breast cancer, where its loss is associated with resistance to therapy. Upon genotoxic stress, ataxia telangiectasia mutated ... -
The genomic landscape of teenage and young adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
(WILEY, 2021-07-01)BACKGROUND: Treatment on risk adapted intensive pediatric protocols has improved outcome for teenagers and young adults (TYA) with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Understanding the biology of disease in this ... -
Impairment of a distinct cancer-associated fibroblast population limits tumour growth and metastasis.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2021-06-10)Profiling studies have revealed considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) present within the tumour microenvironment, however, functional characterisation of different CAF subsets is ... -
Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, an ultra-rare cancer: a consensus paper from the community of experts.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-06-02)Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) is an ultra-rare, translocated, vascular sarcoma. EHE clinical behavior is variable, ranging from that of a low-grade malignancy to that of a high-grade sarcoma and it is marked by a ... -
Chromosome 1q21 abnormalities refine outcome prediction in patients with multiple myeloma - a meta-analysis of 2,596 trial patients.

Droplet digital PCR-based detection of circulating tumor DNA from pediatric high grade and diffuse midline glioma patients.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-01)BACKGROUND: The use of liquid biopsy is of potential high importance for children with high grade (HGG) and diffuse midline gliomas (DMG), particularly where surgical procedures are limited, and invasive biopsy sampling ... -
Pathogenic ACVR1R206H activation by Activin A-induced receptor clustering and autophosphorylation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-15)Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are debilitating diseases that share causal mutations in ACVR1, a TGF-β family type I receptor. ACVR1R206H is a frequent mutation in ... -
Colonic epithelial cathelicidin (LL-37) expression intensity is associated with progression of colorectal cancer and presence of CD8+ T cell infiltrate.
(WILEY, 2021-05-14)Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Here, we define the colonic epithelial expression of cathelicidin (LL-37) in CRC. Cathelicidin exerts pleotropic effects including anti-microbial and ... -
Deciphering the signaling network of breast cancer improves drug sensitivity prediction.
