Toward Personalised Liquid Biopsies for Urothelial Carcinoma: Characterisation of ddPCR and Urinary cfDNA for the Detection of the TERT 228 G>A/T Mutation.
(IOS PRESS, 2018-01-20)
BACKGROUND: TERT promotor mutations are present in >75% of bladder tumours; these mutations are also detectable in urine. Previous studies have used urinary pellet DNA, and semi-quantitative methods unsuitable for detecting ...
The association between smoking cessation before and after diagnosis and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer recurrence: a prospective cohort study.
(SPRINGER, 2018-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer, but the relationship between smoking cessation after initial treatment and bladder cancer recurrence has been investigated less frequently and not prospectively ...
What is the optimal systemic treatment of men with metastatic, hormone-naive prostate cancer? A STOPCAP systematic review and network meta-analysis.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Our prior Systemic Treatment Options for Cancer of the Prostate systematic reviews showed improved survival for men with metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer when abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone/prednisone ...
A study of thermal dose-induced autophagy, apoptosis and necroptosis in colon cancer cells.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015-07-04)
PURPOSE: The pleiotropic effects of heat on cancer cells have been well documented. The biological effects seen depend on the temperature applied, and the heating duration. In this study we investigate the cytotoxic effects ...
Low-cost Kinect Version 2 imaging system for breath hold monitoring and gating: Proof of concept study for breast cancer VMAT radiotherapy.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
Voluntary inspiration breath hold (VIBH) for left breast cancer patients has been shown to be a safe and effective method of reducing radiation dose to the heart. Currently, VIBH protocol compliance is monitored visually. ...
Regulation of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase in primary human saphenous vein endothelial cells
(Informa UK Limited, 2015-05-01)
Predicting response to radical (chemo)radiotherapy with circulating HPV DNA in locally advanced head and neck squamous carcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2017-09-05)
BACKGROUND: Following chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) for human papilloma virus positive (HPV+) locally advanced head and neck cancer, patients frequently undergo unnecessary neck dissection (ND) and/or repeated biopsies for ...
Two Novel Susceptibility Loci for Prostate Cancer in Men of African Ancestry.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC, 2017-08-01)
Prostate cancer incidence is 1.6-fold higher in African Americans than in other populations. The risk factors that drive this disparity are unknown and potentially consist of social, environmental, and genetic influences. ...
HSP90 inhibition sensitizes head and neck cancer to platin-based chemoradiotherapy by modulation of the DNA damage response resulting in chromosomal fragmentation.
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2017-01-31)
BACKGROUND: Concurrent cisplatin radiotherapy (CCRT) is a current standard-of-care for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, CCRT is frequently ineffective in patients with advanced ...
Multi-Channel Optical Coherence Elastography Using Relative and Absolute Shear-Wave Time of Flight.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-01-20)
Elastography, the imaging of elastic properties of soft tissues, is well developed for macroscopic clinical imaging of soft tissues and can provide useful information about various pathological processes which is complementary ...
