RIPK1-mediated immunogenic cell death promotes anti-tumour immunity against soft-tissue sarcoma.
(WILEY, 2020-06-08)Drugs that mobilise the immune system against cancer are dramatically improving care for many people. Dying cancer cells play an active role in inducing anti-tumour immunity but not every form of death can elicit an immune ... -
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, natural menopause, and breast cancer risk: an international prospective cohort of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers.
(BMC, 2020-01-16)BACKGROUND: The effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on breast cancer risk for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers is uncertain. Retrospective analyses have suggested a protective effect but may be substantially ... -
Risks of breast or ovarian cancer in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predictive test negatives: findings from the EMBRACE study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-12-01)PURPOSE: BRCA1/BRCA2 predictive test negatives are proven noncarriers of a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation that is carried by their relatives. The risk of developing breast cancer (BC) or epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in these women ... -
Risks of Breast, Ovarian, and Contralateral Breast Cancer for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-06-20)IMPORTANCE: The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers requires accurate, prospective cancer risk estimates. OBJECTIVES: To estimate age-specific risks of breast, ovarian, and contralateral breast cancer ... -
The role of the radiation therapy breast boost in the 2020s.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2023-03-17)Given that most local relapses of breast cancer occur proximal to the original location of the primary, the delivery of additional radiation dose to breast tissue that contained the original primary cancer (known as a ... -
RTT-led IGRT for cervix cancer; training, implementation and validation.
(Elsevier BV, 2019-12-16)INTRODUCTION: IGRT in cervical cancer treatment delivery is complex due to significant target and organs at risk (OAR) motion. Implementing image assessment of soft-tissue target and OAR position to improve accuracy is ... -
Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has ... -
Safety and Efficacy of Atezolizumab in Understudied Populations with Pretreated Urinary Tract Carcinoma: Subgroup Analyses of the SAUL Study in Real-World Practice.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-08-01)PURPOSE: Atezolizumab is an established treatment option for pretreated urothelial carcinoma, demonstrating efficacy in phase II/III trials. The SAUL study enrolled a broader patient population to determine safety and ... -
Safety and efficacy of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab in patients with solid tumors: a phase II, open-label, multicenter, multicohort study.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-04-01)BACKGROUND: Although introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of cancer, their response rates are generally low. Preclinical and early phase clinical data suggest that MEK inhibition ... -
Safety and Treatment Outcomes of Nivolumab for the Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
(MDPI, 2021-03-19)Nivolumab is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody currently used as immunotherapy for patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with evidence of disease progression after platinum-based ... -
Salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for intraprostatic relapse after prostate cancer radiotherapy: An ESTRO ACROP Delphi consensus.
<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Between 30% and 47% of patients treated with definitive radiotherapy (RT) for prostate cancer are at risk of intraprostatic recurrence during follow-up. Re-irradiation with stereotactic body ... -
Science in Focus: Biological Optimisation of Radiotherapy Fraction Size in an Era of Immune Oncology.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-10-01) -
Second primary malignancies induced by radioactive iodine treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma - a critical review and evaluation of the existing evidence.
(SPRINGER, 2022-03-23)PURPOSE: Concern is growing about long-term side effects of differentiated thyroid cancer treatment, most notably radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. However, published studies on the subject have had heterogeneous cohorts ... -
Selection criteria for early breast cancer patients in the DBCG proton trial - The randomised phase III trial strategy.
Background and purpose Adjuvant radiotherapy of internal mammary nodes (IMN) improves survival in high-risk early breast cancer patients but inevitably leads to more dose to heart and lung. Target coverage is often compromised ... -
Separation of type and grade in cervical tumours using non-mono-exponential models of diffusion-weighted MRI.
(SPRINGER, 2017-02-01)OBJECTIVES: Assessment of empirical diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) models in cervical tumours to investigate whether fitted parameters distinguish between types and grades of tumours. METHODS: Forty-two patients (24 ... -
Sequencing of prostate cancers identifies new cancer genes, routes of progression and drug targets.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-05-01)Prostate cancer represents a substantial clinical challenge because it is difficult to predict outcome and advanced disease is often fatal. We sequenced the whole genomes of 112 primary and metastatic prostate cancer ... -
Setting up a quantitative SPECT imaging network for a European multi-centre dosimetry study of radioiodine treatment for thyroid cancer as part of the MEDIRAD project.
(SPRINGER, 2020-10-08)BACKGROUND: Differentiated thyroid cancer has been treated with radioiodine for almost 80 years, although controversial questions regarding radiation-related risks and the optimisation of treatment regimens remain unresolved. ... -
seXY: a tool for sex inference from genotype arrays.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-02-15)MOTIVATION: Checking concordance between reported sex and genotype-inferred sex is a crucial quality control measure in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, limited insights exist regarding the true accuracy ... -
