Detecting human melanoma cell re-differentiation following BRAF or heat shock protein 90 inhibition using photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-08-15)
Targeted therapies specific to the BRAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway have shown great promise in the treatment of malignant melanoma in the last few years, with these drugs now commonly used in clinic. Melanoma cells treated ...
Upfront Docetaxel in the Post-STAMPEDE World: Lessons from an Early Evaluation of Non-trial Usage in Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2017-10-01)
A practical guide to the handling and administration of talimogene laherparepvec in Europe.
(DOVE MEDICAL PRESS LTD, 2017-01-01)
Talimogene laherparepvec is a herpes simplex virus-1-based intralesional oncolytic immunotherapy and is the first oncolytic virus to be approved in Europe. It is indicated for the treatment of adults with unresectable ...
Quantifying the Genetic Correlation between Multiple Cancer Types.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-09-01)
Background: Many cancers share specific genetic risk factors, including both rare high-penetrance mutations and common SNPs identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, little is known about the ...
Ambiguity in a masculine world: Being a BRCA1/2 mutation carrier and a man with prostate cancer.
(WILEY, 2017-11-01)
OBJECTIVE: Increased risk of prostate cancer (PCa) is observed in men with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations. Sex and gender are key determinants of health and disease although unequal care exists between the sexes. Stereotypical male ...
Value of combining dynamic contrast enhanced ultrasound and optoacoustic tomography for hypoxia imaging.
(ELSEVIER GMBH, URBAN & FISCHER VERLAG, 2017-12-01)
Optoacoustic imaging (OAI) can detect haemoglobin and assess its oxygenation. However, the lack of a haemoglobin signal need not indicate a lack of perfusion. This study uses a novel method to assist the co-registration ...
Characterisation of fibrosis in chemically-induced rat mammary carcinomas using multi-modal endogenous contrast MRI on a 1.5T clinical platform.
(SPRINGER, 2018-04-01)
OBJECTIVES: To determine the ability of multi-parametric, endogenous contrast MRI to detect and quantify fibrosis in a chemically-induced rat model of mammary carcinoma. METHODS: Female Sprague-Dawley rats (n=18) were ...
Characterization of the diffusion coefficient of blood.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
PURPOSE: To characterize the diffusion coefficient of human blood for accurate results in intravoxel incoherent motion imaging. METHODS: Diffusion-weighted MRI of blood samples from 10 healthy volunteers was acquired with ...
Subversion of NK-cell and TNFα Immune Surveillance Drives Tumor Recurrence.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-11-01)
Understanding how incompletely cleared primary tumors transition from minimal residual disease (MRD) into treatment-resistant, immune-invisible recurrences has major clinical significance. We show here that this transition ...
Gold nanorod reshaping in vitro and in vivo using a continuous wave laser.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2017-10-18)
Gold nanorods (GNRs) are increasingly being investigated for cancer theranostics as they possess features which lend themselves in equal measures as contrast agents and catalysts for photothermal therapy. Their optical ...
