Identification of ten variants associated with risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-12-01)Most common breast cancer susceptibility variants have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of predominantly estrogen receptor (ER)-positive disease. We conducted a GWAS using 21,468 ER-negative ... -
IGF1R signalling in testicular germ cell tumour cells impacts on cell survival and acquired cisplatin resistance.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most frequent malignancy and cause of death from solid tumours in the 20- to 40-year age group. Although most cases show sensitivity to cis-platinum-based chemotherapy, this is ... -
Image-guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for Bladder Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-06-01)Technological advancement has facilitated patient-specific radiotherapy in bladder cancer. This has been made possible by developments in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Particularly transformative has been the integration ... -
Imaging biomarker roadmap for cancer studies.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-01)Imaging biomarkers (IBs) are integral to the routine management of patients with cancer. IBs used daily in oncology include clinical TNM stage, objective response and left ventricular ejection fraction. Other CT, MRI, PET ... -
Imaging Diagnosis and Follow-up of Advanced Prostate Cancer: Clinical Perspectives and State of the Art.
(RADIOLOGICAL SOC NORTH AMERICA (RSNA), 2019-08-01)The management of advanced prostate cancer has changed substantially with the availability of multiple effective novel treatments, which has led to improved disease survival. In the era of personalized cancer treatments, ... -
Imaging Modality and Frequency in Surveillance of Stage I Seminoma Testicular Cancer: Results From a Randomized, Phase III, Noninferiority Trial (TRISST).
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-08-01)PURPOSE: Survival in stage I seminoma is almost 100%. Computed tomography (CT) surveillance is an international standard of care, avoiding adjuvant therapy. In this young population, minimizing irradiation is vital. The ... -
Imaging of testicular germ cell tumours.
(E-MED LTD, 2006-09-07)In testicular germ cell tumour (GCT), imaging plays a central role in assessment of tumour bulk, sites of metastases, monitoring response to therapy, surgical planning and accurate assessment of disease at relapse. The ... -
Imaging tumour hypoxia with oxygen-enhanced MRI and BOLD MRI.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2019-01-01)Hypoxia is known to be a poor prognostic indicator for nearly all solid tumours and also is predictive of treatment failure for radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery and targeted therapies. Imaging has potential to identify, ... -
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor and Radiotherapy-Related Pneumonitis: An Informatics Approach to Determine Real-World Incidence, Severity, Management, and Resource Implications.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-11-01)Pneumonitis is a well-described, potentially life-threatening adverse effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and thoracic radiotherapy. It can require additional investigations, treatment, and interruption of cancer ... -
Immune landscape, evolution, hypoxia-mediated viral mimicry pathways and therapeutic potential in molecular subtypes of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-09-03)OBJECTIVE: A comprehensive analysis of the immune landscape of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PanNETs) was performed according to clinicopathological parameters and previously defined molecular subtypes to identify ... -
Immuno-PET in Pontine Glioma: More Than Meets the Eye?
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2018-04-01) -
Immunoassays for the quantification of ALK and phosphorylated ALK support the evaluation of on-target ALK inhibitors in neuroblastoma.
(WILEY, 2017-08-01)Targeted inhibition of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a successful approach for the treatment of many ALK-aberrant malignancies; however, the presence of resistant mutations necessitates both the development of more ... -
Immunogenicity of self tumor associated proteins is enhanced through protein truncation.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-12-07)We showed previously that therapy with Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) expressing tumor-associated proteins eradicates established tumors. We show here that when cellular cDNA were cloned into VSV which retained their own ... -
Immunological impact of cell death signaling driven by radiation on the tumor microenvironment.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-01)Therapeutic irradiation of the tumor microenvironment causes differential activation of pro-survival and pro-death pathways in malignant, stromal, endothelial and immune cells, hence causing a profound cellular and biological ... -
Immunomodulatory activity of IR700-labelled affibody targeting HER2.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2020-10-20)There is an urgent need to develop therapeutic approaches that can increase the response rate to immuno-oncology agents. Photoimmunotherapy has recently been shown to generate anti-tumour immunological responses by releasing ... -
Impact of antibiotic use during curative treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancers with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-05-01)BACKGROUND: Pre-clinical evidence suggests reduced efficacy of anticancer treatment in patients exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics. It is hypothesised that this phenomenon may be explained by the effects of antibiotics ... -
Impact of Ga-68-PSMA PET/CT on management in prostate cancer patients with very early biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.
(SPRINGER, 2019-04-01)PURPOSE: With the availability of ultra-sensitive PSA assays, early biochemical relapse (eBCR) of prostate cancer is increasingly being detected at values much lower than the conventional threshold of 0.2 ng/ml. Accurate ... -
