MRI-based Assessment of 3D Intrafractional Motion of Head and Neck Cancer for Radiation Therapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-02-01)
PURPOSE: To determine the 3-dimensional (3D) intrafractional motion of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images from 56 patients with HNSCC ...
Mutational spectrum in a worldwide study of 29,700 families with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.
(WILEY-HINDAWI, 2018-05-01)
The prevalence and spectrum of germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been reported in single populations, with the majority of reports focused on White in Europe and North America. The Consortium of Investigators of ...
Germline variants in IL4, MGMT and AKT1 are associated with prostate cancer-specific mortality: An analysis of 12,082 prostate cancer cases.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of mortality and genetic factors can influence tumour aggressiveness. Several germline variants have been associated with PCa-specific mortality (PCSM), but further ...
Bone lesion absorbed dose profiles in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated with molecular radiotherapy.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2018-01-01)
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to calculate the range of absorbed doses that could potentially be delivered by a variety of radiopharmaceuticals and typical fixed administered activities used for bone pain palliation ...
Management of Men with Prostate-specific Antigen Failure After Prostate Radiotherapy: The Case Against Early Androgen Deprivation.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-04-01)
In men with prostate-specific antigen failure after radical radiotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy should be delayed until the site of recurrence is known to allow consideration of curative treatment options, to delay ...
A Dosimetric Comparison of Breast Radiotherapy Techniques to Treat Locoregional Lymph Nodes Including the Internal Mammary Chain.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2018-06-01)
AIMS: Radiotherapy target volumes in early breast cancer treatment increasingly include the internal mammary chain (IMC). In order to maximise survival benefits of IMC radiotherapy, doses to the heart and lung should be ...
HER3-Mediated Resistance to Hsp90 Inhibition Detected in Breast Cancer Xenografts by Affibody-Based PET Imaging.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-15)
Purpose: Recent studies have highlighted a role of HER3 in HER2-driven cancers (e.g., breast cancer), implicating the upregulation of the receptor in resistance to HER-targeted therapies and Hsp90 inhibitors (e.g., AUY922). ...
Compartmental Model for 223Ra-Dichloride in Patients With Metastatic Bone Disease From Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-06-04)
PURPOSE: 223Ra-Dichloride is used for treatment of patients with metastatic bone disease from castration-resistant prostate cancer. The uptake and mechanism of action of 223Ra-Dichloride is not well understood. The aim of ...
Addition of Docetaxel to First-line Long-term Hormone Therapy in Prostate Cancer (STAMPEDE): Modelling to Estimate Long-term Survival, Quality-adjusted Survival, and Cost-effectiveness.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Results from large randomised controlled trials have shown that adding docetaxel to the standard of care (SOC) for men initiating hormone therapy for prostate cancer (PC) prolongs survival for those with ...
From Clinical Trials to Real-life Clinical Practice: The Role of Immunotherapy with PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors in Advanced Urothelial Carcinoma.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-12-01)
CONTEXT: A number of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have recently been approved for use in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) on the basis of results from several clinical trials. OBJECTIVE: To ...
