Addition of nintedanib or placebo to neoadjuvant gemcitabine and cisplatin in locally advanced muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NEOBLADE): a double-blind, randomised, phase 2 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-05-01)BACKGROUND: Recurrence is common after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer. We investigated the effect of adding nintedanib to neoadjuvant chemotherapy on response and survival ... -
Additional SNPs improve risk stratification of a polygenic hazard score for prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-08)BACKGROUND: Polygenic hazard scores (PHS) can identify individuals with increased risk of prostate cancer. We estimated the benefit of additional SNPs on performance of a previously validated PHS (PHS46). MATERIALS AND ... -
Adjustment of the iodine ICRP population pharmacokinetic model for the use in thyroid cancer patients after thyroidectomy.
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021-11-11)Biokinetic models developed for healthy humans are not appropriate to describe biokinetics in thyroid cancer patients following thyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to adjust the population model for iodine proposed ... -
Adjuvant Therapy for Stage IB Germ Cell Tumors: One versus Two Cycles of BEP.
(HINDAWI LTD, 2018-01-01)Testicular germ cell tumours are the commonest tumours of young men and are broadly managed either as pure seminomas or as 'nonseminomas'. The management of Stage 1 nonseminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCTs), beyond surgical ... -
Adult soft tissue myoepithelial carcinoma: treatment outcomes and efficacy of chemotherapy.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2019-12-27)Soft tissue myoepithelial carcinomas are a rare, malignant subgroup of myoepithelial tumours mostly arising in the extremities with equal predilection for women and men. The mainstay of management of localised disease is ... -
Adult weight change and premenopausal breast cancer risk: A prospective pooled analysis of data from 628,463 women.
(WILEY, 2020-09-01)Early-adulthood body size is strongly inversely associated with risk of premenopausal breast cancer. It is unclear whether subsequent changes in weight affect risk. We pooled individual-level data from 17 prospective studies ... -
Advanced magnetic resonance imaging in lung mesothelioma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-07-31)Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a rind-like growth pattern and may have both solid disease and pleural fluid, so it is very challenging to accurately categorize change in tumour burden using size-based tumour ... -
Advancing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided adaptive radiotherapy techniques for prostate cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-04-11)Advances in radiotherapy technology have increased precision of treatment delivery, improved cure rates and decreased side effects. The advent of MR-Linacs, which are hybrids of an MRI scanner and linear accelerator, holds ... -
Adverse Health Outcomes in Relationship to Hypogonadism After Chemotherapy: A Multicenter Study of Testicular Cancer Survivors.
(HARBORSIDE PRESS, 2019-05-01)BACKGROUND: This study examined the prevalence of hypogonadism, its clinical and genetic risk factors, and its relationship to adverse health outcomes (AHOs) in North American testicular cancer survivors (TCS) after modern ... -
Afatinib vs Placebo as Adjuvant Therapy After Chemoradiotherapy in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2019-08-01)IMPORTANCE: Locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) is treated curatively; however, risk of recurrence remains high among some patients. The ERBB family blocker afatinib has shown efficacy in ... -
Affibody-Based PET Imaging to Guide EGFR-Targeted Cancer Therapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer Models.
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2019-03-01)In head and neck squamous cell cancer, the human epidermal growth factor receptor 1 (EGFR) is the dominant signaling molecule among all members of the family. So far, cetuximab is the only approved anti-EGFR monoclonal ... -
Age-related differences of oncological outcomes in primary extremity soft tissue sarcoma: a multistate model including 6260 patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-12-01)PURPOSE: No studies extensively compared the young adults (YA, 18-39 years), middle-aged (40-69 years), and elderly (≥70 years) population with primary high-grade extremity soft tissue sarcoma (eSTS). This study aimed to ... -
Alanine dosimetry in strong magnetic fields: use as a transfer standard in MRI-guided radiotherapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-06-03)Reference dosimetry in the presence of a strong magnetic field is challenging. Ionisation chambers have shown to be strongly affected by magnetic fields. There is a need for robust and stable detectors in MRI-guided ... -
Alcohol consumption and prostate cancer incidence and progression: A Mendelian randomisation study.
(WILEY, 2017-01-01)Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in developed countries, and is a target for risk reduction strategies. The effects of alcohol consumption on prostate cancer incidence and survival remain unclear, potentially ... -
Alcohol Intake and Alcohol-SNP Interactions Associated with Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness.
(MDPI, 2021-02-02)Excessive alcohol intake is a well-known modifiable risk factor for many cancers. It is still unclear whether genetic variants or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can modify alcohol intake's impact on prostate cancer ... -
