Monitoring the Vascular Response and Resistance to Sunitinib in Renal Cell Carcinoma In Vivo with Susceptibility Contrast MRI.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-08-01)
Antiangiogenic therapy is efficacious in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, the ability of antiangiogenic drugs to delay tumor progression and extend survival is limited, due to either innate or acquired drug ...
Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-05-01)
To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC cases and 40,941 controls. We identified ...
Breast MRI segmentation for density estimation: Do different methods give the same results and how much do differences matter?
(WILEY, 2017-09-01)
PURPOSE: To compare two methods of automatic breast segmentation with each other and with manual segmentation in a large subject cohort. To discuss the factors involved in selecting the most appropriate algorithm for ...
Tumour auto-contouring on 2d cine MRI for locally advanced lung cancer: A comparative study.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-12-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiotherapy guidance based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently becoming a clinical reality. Fast 2d cine MRI sequences are expected to increase the precision of radiation delivery by ...
Height, selected genetic markers and prostate cancer risk: results from the PRACTICAL consortium.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-08-22)
BACKGROUND: Evidence on height and prostate cancer risk is mixed, however, recent studies with large data sets support a possible role for its association with the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. METHODS: We analysed ...
A data-driven statistical model that estimates measurement uncertainty improves interpretation of ADC reproducibility: a multi-site study of liver metastases.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-10-26)
Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) is a potential quantitative imaging biomarker for tumour cell density and is widely used to detect early treatment changes in cancer therapy. We propose a strategy to improve confidence ...
Correlation of Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography with Pathological Analysis in a Xenografic Tumour Model.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2017-03-13)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential value of ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) in assessing the relative change in elastic modulus in colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft models in vivo and ...
Partial-breast radiotherapy after breast conservation surgery for patients with early breast cancer (UK IMPORT LOW trial): 5-year results from a multicentre, randomised, controlled, phase 3, non-inferiority trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017-09-09)
BACKGROUND: Local cancer relapse risk after breast conservation surgery followed by radiotherapy has fallen sharply in many countries, and is influenced by patient age and clinicopathological factors. We hypothesise that ...
Abiraterone for Prostate Cancer Not Previously Treated with Hormone Therapy.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2017-07-27)
BACKGROUND: 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 a ...
