Circulating vitamin D concentrations and risk of breast and prostate cancer: a Mendelian randomization study.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-10-01)BACKGROUND: Observational studies have suggested an association between circulating vitamin D concentrations [25(OH)D] and risk of breast and prostate cancer, which was not supported by a recent Mendelian randomization ... -
Classification of fibroglandular tissue distribution in the breast based on radiotherapy planning CT.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2016-01-14)BACKGROUND: Accurate segmentation of breast tissues is required for a number of applications such as model based deformable registration in breast radiotherapy. The accuracy of breast tissue segmentation is affected by the ... -
Clinical and Genome-wide Analysis of Cisplatin-induced Tinnitus Implicates Novel Ototoxic Mechanisms.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-07-01)PURPOSE: Cisplatin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic, results in tinnitus, the phantom perception of sound. Our purpose was to identify the clinical and genetic determinants of tinnitus among testicular cancer survivors ... -
Clinical and patient-reported outcomes of SPARE - a randomised feasibility study of selective bladder preservation versus radical cystectomy.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)OBJECTIVES: To test the feasibility of a randomised trial in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) and compare outcomes in patients who receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical cystectomy (RC) or selective ... -
Clinical Application of Shear Wave Elastography for Assisting Brain Tumor Resection.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-01)BACKGROUND: The clinical outcomes for brain tumor resection have been shown to be significantly improved with increased extent of resection. To achieve this, neurosurgeons employ different intra-operative tools to improve ... -
Clinical Characteristics and efficacy of chemotherapy in sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma.
(2018-09-05)<h4>Background</h4>Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a very rare soft tissue sarcoma subtype. Clinically it is an aggressive tumour; however, to our knowledge there are no published reports regarding the efficacy ... -
Clinical development of new drug-radiotherapy combinations.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2016-10-01)In countries with the best cancer outcomes, approximately 60% of patients receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment, which is one of the most cost-effective cancer treatments. Notably, around 40% of cancer cures ... -
Clinical Guidance for the Management of Patients with Urothelial Cancers During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Rapid Review.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-06-01)The current COVID-19 pandemic presents a substantial obstacle to cancer patient care. Data from China as well as risk models suppose that cancer patients, particularly those on active, immunosuppressive therapies are at ... -
