Independent component analysis (ICA) applied to dynamic oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) for robust functional lung imaging at 3 T.
(WILEY, 2024-03-01)PURPOSE: Dynamic lung oxygen-enhanced MRI (OE-MRI) is challenging due to the presence of confounding signals and poor signal-to-noise ratio, particularly at 3 T. We have created a robust pipeline utilizing independent ... -
Indisulam targets RNA splicing and metabolism to serve as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-03-16)Neuroblastoma is the most common paediatric solid tumour and prognosis remains poor for high-risk cases despite the use of multimodal treatment. Analysis of public drug sensitivity data showed neuroblastoma lines to be ... -
Individualising radiation therapy decisions in breast cancer patients based on tumour infiltrating lymphocytes and genomic biomarkers.
(CHURCHILL LIVINGSTONE, 2023-10-01)Radiation therapy (RT) has long been fundamental for the curative treatment of breast cancer. While substantial progress has been made in the anatomical and technological precision of RT delivery, and some approaches to ... -
Individualized 131I-mIBG therapy in the management of refractory and relapsed neuroblastoma.
(SPRINGER, 2013-10-01)OBJECTIVE: Iodine-131-labelled meta-iodobenzylguanidine (I-mIBG) therapy is an established treatment modality for relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma, most frequently administered according to fixed or weight-based criteria. ... -
Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Chemo-intensity-modulated Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2016-08-01)AIMS: To determine the toxicity and tumour control rates after chemo-intensity-modulated radiotherapy (chemo-IMRT) for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancers (LA-NPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with LA-NPC were ... -
Infant High-Grade Gliomas Comprise Multiple Subgroups Characterized by Novel Targetable Gene Fusions and Favorable Outcomes.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-07-01)Infant high-grade gliomas appear clinically distinct from their counterparts in older children, indicating that histopathologic grading may not accurately reflect the biology of these tumors. We have collected 241 cases ... -
Inflammatory microenvironment remodelling by tumour cells after radiotherapy.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-04-01)The development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) is revolutionizing the way we think about cancer treatment. Even so, for most types of cancer, only a minority of patients currently benefit from ICI therapies. Intrinsic ... -
Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-07-01)For triage purposes following a nuclear accident, blood-based gene expression biomarkers can provide rapid dose estimates for a large number of individuals. Ionizing-radiation-responsive genes are regulated through the DNA ... -
InfuShield: a shielded enclosure for administering therapeutic radioisotope treatments using standard syringe pumps.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2017-03-01)The administration of radionuclide therapies presents significant radiation protection challenges. The aim of this work was to develop a delivery system for intravenous radioisotope therapies to substantially moderate ... -
Inherited DNA-Repair Gene Mutations in Men with Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2016-08-04)BACKGROUND: Inherited mutations in DNA-repair genes such as BRCA2 are associated with increased risks of lethal prostate cancer. Although the prevalence of germline mutations in DNA-repair genes among men with localized ... -
Inhibition of HOX/PBX dimer formation leads to necroptosis in acute myeloid leukemia cells.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2017-10-27)The HOX genes encode a family of transcription factors that have key roles in both development and malignancy. Disrupting the interaction between HOX proteins and their binding partner, PBX, has been shown to cause apoptotic ... -
Inhibition of mTOR-kinase destabilizes MYCN and is a potential therapy for MYCN-dependent tumors.
(IMPACT JOURNALS LLC, 2016-09-06)MYC oncoproteins deliver a potent oncogenic stimulus in several human cancers, making them major targets for drug development, but efforts to deliver clinically practical therapeutics have not yet been realized. In childhood ... -
Initial experience of the BREAST-Q breast-conserving therapy module.
(SPRINGER, 2016-11-01)PURPOSE: The most recently developed module of the BREAST-Q, a validated patient outcome measure, is for patients who have undergone breast-conserving therapy (BCT) for cancer. This aim of this study was to assess patient ... -
Institutional experience of using active breathing control for paediatric and teenage patients receiving thoraco-abdominal radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-03-01)INTRODUCTION: Active Breathing Control (ABC) is a motion management strategy that facilitates reproducible breath-hold for thoracic radiotherapy (RT), which may reduce radiation dose to organs at risk (OARs). Reduction of ... -
