An orally bioavailable Chk1 inhibitor, CCT244747, sensitizes bladder and head and neck cancer cell lines to radiation.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-03-01)PURPOSE: Chk1 inhibition increases cell sensitivity to both chemotherapy and radiotherapy in several tumour types and is, therefore, a promising anti-cancer approach. Although several Chk1 inhibitors have been developed, ... -
An Overview of X-ray Photon Counting Spectral Imaging (x-CSI) with a Focus on Gold Nanoparticle Quantification in Oncology.
(MDPI, 2021-12-31)This review article offers an overview of the differences between traditional energy integrating (EI) X-ray imaging and the new technique of X-ray photon counting spectral imaging (x-CSI). The review is motivated by the ... -
Analysis of Over 140,000 European Descendants Identifies Genetically Predicted Blood Protein Biomarkers Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-09-15)Several blood protein biomarkers have been associated with prostate cancer risk. However, most studies assessed only a small number of biomarkers and/or included a small sample size. To identify novel protein biomarkers ... -
Anti-PD-1/anti-CTLA-4 efficacy in melanoma brain metastases depends on extracranial disease and augmentation of CD8+ T cell trafficking.
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 2018-02-13)Inhibition of immune checkpoints programmed death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) on T cells results in durable antitumor activity in melanoma patients. Despite high frequency of melanoma ... -
Antibody-Neutralized Reovirus Is Effective in Oncolytic Virotherapy.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-10-01)Immunotherapy is showing promise for otherwise incurable cancers. Oncolytic viruses (OVs), developed as direct cytotoxic agents, mediate their antitumor effects via activation of the immune system. However, OVs also stimulate ... -
Antiviral antibody responses to systemic administration of an oncolytic RNA virus: the impact of standard concomitant anticancer chemotherapies.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2021-01-01)BACKGROUND: Oncolytic reovirus therapy for cancer induces a typical antiviral response to this RNA virus, including neutralizing antibodies. Concomitant treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapies has been hypothesized to ... -
APOBEC and Cancer Viroimmunotherapy: Thinking the Unthinkable.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2021-06-15)The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide (APOBEC) family protects against infection by degrading incoming viral genomes through cytosine deamination. Here, we review how the potential to unleash these ... -
APOBEC3 Mediates Resistance to Oncolytic Viral Therapy.
(CELL PRESS, 2018-12-21)Tumor cells frequently evade applied therapies through the accumulation of genomic mutations and rapid evolution. In the case of oncolytic virotherapy, understanding the mechanisms by which cancer cells develop resistance ... -
APOBEC3B-mediated corruption of the tumor cell immunopeptidome induces heteroclitic neoepitopes for cancer immunotherapy.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-02-07)APOBEC3B, an anti-viral cytidine deaminase which induces DNA mutations, has been implicated as a mediator of cancer evolution and therapeutic resistance. Mutational plasticity also drives generation of neoepitopes, which ... -
Applicability of Scoring Calyculin A-Induced Premature Chromosome Condensation Objects for Dose Assessment Including for Radiotherapy Patients.
(KARGER, 2023-10-19)As an extension to a previous study, a linear calibration curve covering doses from 0 to 10 Gy was constructed and evaluated in the present study using calyculin A-induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC) by scoring ... -
Appraising the relevance of DNA copy number loss and gain in prostate cancer using whole genome DNA sequence data.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-09-25)A variety of models have been proposed to explain regions of recurrent somatic copy number alteration (SCNA) in human cancer. Our study employs Whole Genome DNA Sequence (WGS) data from tumor samples (n = 103) to comprehensively ... -
ART DECO (CRUK/10/018): dose escalated vs standard dose IMRT in locally advanced head and neck cancer

Artificial intelligence and digital pathology: Opportunities and implications for immuno-oncology.
(ELSEVIER, 2021-02-06)The field of immuno-oncology has expanded rapidly over the past decade, but key questions remain. How does tumour-immune interaction regulate disease progression? How can we prospectively identify patients who will benefit ... -
Assessing Bladder Radiotherapy Response With Quantitative Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-06)AIMS: Radiotherapy with radiosensitisation offers opportunity for cure with organ preservation in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Treatment response assessment and follow-up are reliant on regular endoscopic evaluation ... -
Assessing the role of insulin-like growth factors and binding proteins in prostate cancer using Mendelian randomization: Genetic variants as instruments for circulating levels.
(WILEY, 2016-10-01)Circulating insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and their binding proteins (IGFBPs) are associated with prostate cancer. Using genetic variants as instruments for IGF peptides, we investigated whether these associations are ... -
Assessment of delivered rectal dose in prostate cancer radiotherapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-11-30)Prostate radiotherapy gives excellent long-term disease control; however, morbidity from treatment can negatively impact quality of life. To minimise the risk of toxicity a treatment plan is created, which meets dose volume ... -
Assessment of fully-automated atlas-based segmentation of novel oral mucosal surface organ-at-risk.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-04-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Current oral mucositis normal tissue complication probability models, based on the dose distribution to the oral cavity volume, have suboptimal predictive power. Improving the delineation of the ... -
Assessment of MLC tracking performance during hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy using real-time dose reconstruction.
