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 ... -
Shared heritability and functional enrichment across six solid cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-01-25)Quantifying the genetic correlation between cancers can provide important insights into the mechanisms driving cancer etiology. Using genome-wide association study summary statistics across six cancer types based on a total ... -
SHH pathway inhibition is protumourigenic in adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2019-03-01)Pharmacological inhibition of the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway can be beneficial against certain cancers but detrimental in others. Adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) is a relevant pituitary tumour, affecting children ... -
Slice Encoding for Metal Artefact Correction in magnetic resonance imaging examinations for radiotherapy planning.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-08-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) images are degraded in the presence of metallic implants. We investigate whether SEMAC (Slice Encoding for Metal Artifact Correction) MR is ... -
SNP interaction pattern identifier (SIPI): an intensive search for SNP-SNP interaction patterns.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-03-15)MOTIVATION: Testing SNP-SNP interactions is considered as a key for overcoming bottlenecks of genetic association studies. However, related statistical methods for testing SNP-SNP interactions are underdeveloped. RESULTS: ... -
Solitary fibrous tumor: molecular hallmarks and treatment for a rare sarcoma.
(FUTURE MEDICINE LTD, 2021-09-01)Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma subtype which mainly affects adults in the fifth and sixth decades of life. Originally part of a spectrum of tumors called hemangiopericytomas, classification has ... -
SOLLID - a single centre study to develop methods to investigate the effects of low radiation doses within nuclear medicine, to enable multicentre epidemiological investigations.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2021-03-01)There is continuing debate concerning the risks of secondary malignancies from low levels of radiation exposure. The current model used for radiation protection is predicated on the assumption that even very low levels of ... -
Spatial patterns of tumour growth impact clonal diversification in a computational model and the TRACERx Renal study.
