The 111 Study: A Single-arm, Phase 3 Trial Evaluating One Cycle of Bleomycin, Etoposide, and Cisplatin as Adjuvant Chemotherapy in High-risk, Stage 1 Nonseminomatous or Combined Germ Cell Tumours of the Testis.
(2019-12-19)BACKGROUND:Standard management in the UK for high-risk stage 1 nonseminoma germ cell tumours of the testis (NSGCTT) is two cycles of adjuvant bleomycin, etoposide (360 mg/m2), and cisplatin (BE360P) chemotherapy, or ... -
12 new susceptibility loci for prostate cancer identified by genome-wide association study in Japanese population.
(2019-09-27)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified ~170 genetic loci associated with prostate cancer (PCa) risk, but most of them were identified in European populations. We here performed a GWAS and replication study ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT in Detecting Metastatic Infection in Children.
(2016-04)<h4>Purpose of the report</h4>Metastatic infection is a severe complication of bacteremia with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET combined with CT ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT in Local Ablative Therapies: A Systematic Review.
(2018-04)Driven by the continuous improvement in the accuracy of cross-sectional imaging, image-guided minimally invasive local ablative therapies have received incremental interest over the past few years. In this article, we ... -
18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography as a diagnostic tool in native valve endocarditis.
(2018-08)OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to investigate the value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) in diagnosing native valve endocarditis (NVE). PATIENTS AND ... -

3-D Microvascular Imaging Using High Frame Rate Ultrasound and ASAP Without Contrast Agents: Development and Initial In Vivo Evaluation on Nontumor and Tumor Models.
(2019-05)Three-dimensional imaging is valuable to noninvasively assess angiogenesis given the complex 3-D architecture of vascular networks. The emergence of high frame rate (HFR) ultrasound, which can produce thousands of images ... -
3-Dimensional objective aesthetic evaluation to replace panel assessment after breast-conserving treatment.
(2020-11)<h4>Background</h4>Two-thirds of patients with early breast cancer undergo breast-conserving treatment (BCT). Aesthetic outcome is important and has long term implications for psychosocial wellbeing. The aesthetic goal of ... -
3D tumour spheroids for the prediction of the effects of radiation and hyperthermia treatments.
(2020-02-03)For multimodality therapies such as the combination of hyperthermia and radiation, quantification of biological effects is key for dose prescription and response prediction. Tumour spheroids have a microenvironment that ... -
4D-MRI for thoracic radiotherapy treatment planning and guidance on an MR-linac
Lung cancer currently has a poor prognosis in England and Wales with only 10% of adults surviving five years or more after diagnosis. The poor survival rate demonstrates the need to improve contemporary treatment approaches ... -
AA9int: SNP interaction pattern search using non-hierarchical additive model set.
(2018-12)<h4>Motivation</h4>The use of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) interactions to predict complex diseases is getting more attention during the past decade, but related statistical methods are still immature. We previously ... -
AAPM Task Group 241: A Medical Physicist's Guide to MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound Body Systems.
(2021-07-05)Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a completely non-invasive technology that has been FDA approved to treat several diseases. This report, prepared by the American Association of Physicist in Medicine ... -
Abdo-Man: a 3D-printed anthropomorphic phantom for validating quantitative SIRT.
(2016-12)<h4>Background</h4>The use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is rapidly increasing, and the need for quantification and dosimetry is becoming more widespread to facilitate treatment planning and verification. ... -
Abiraterone for Prostate Cancer Not Previously Treated with Hormone Therapy.
(2017-07)<h4>Background</h4>Abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone improves survival in men with relapsed prostate cancer. We assessed the effect of this combination in men starting long-term androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), using ... -
Abiraterone in "High-" and "Low-risk" Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer.
<h4>Background</h4>Abiraterone acetate received licencing for use in only "high-risk" metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) following the LATITUDE trial findings. However, a "risk"-related effect was not seen ... -
Accuracy of screening women at familial risk of breast cancer without a known gene mutation: Individual patient data meta-analysis.
(2017-11)<h4>Introduction</h4>Women with a strong family history of breast cancer (BC) and without a known gene mutation have an increased risk of developing BC. We aimed to investigate the accuracy of screening using annual ... -
Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT) enhances the therapeutic efficacy of paclitaxel and Abraxane® for treatment of human prostate adenocarcinoma in mice.
(2016-08)Acoustic cluster therapy (ACT) is a novel approach for ultrasound mediated, targeted drug delivery. In the current study, we have investigated ACT in combination with paclitaxel and Abraxane® for treatment of a subcutaneous ...
