Impact of antibiotic use during curative treatment of locally advanced head and neck cancers with chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-05-01)
BACKGROUND: Pre-clinical evidence suggests reduced efficacy of anticancer treatment in patients exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics. It is hypothesised that this phenomenon may be explained by the effects of antibiotics ...
The Intensity-Modulated Pelvic Node and Bladder Radiotherapy (IMPART) Trial: A Phase II Single-Centre Prospective Study.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2020-02-01)
AIMS: Node-positive bladder cancer (NPBC) carries a poor prognosis and has traditionally been treated palliatively. However, surgical series suggest that a subset of NPBC patients can achieve long-term control after ...
Delayed contrast dynamics as marker of regional impairment in pulmonary fibrosis using 5D MRI - a pilot study.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-09-01)
OBJECTIVE: To analyse delayed contrast dynamics of fibrotic lesions in interstitial lung disease (ILD) using five dimensional (5D) MRI and to correlate contrast dynamics with disease severity. METHODS: 20 patients (mean ...
Inter-observer agreement of baseline whole body MRI in multiple myeloma.
(BMC, 2020-07-14)
BACKGROUND: Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now incorporated into international guidance for imaging patients with multiple myeloma. The aim of this study was to investigate inter-observer agreement of triple ...
Telemedicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact on Care for Rare Cancers.
(AMER SOC CLINICAL ONCOLOGY, 2020-06-01)
PURPOSE: Many patients with cancer, often those with rare cancers such as sarcomas, travel long distances to access expert care. The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread changes in delivery of cancer care, including ...
Standard and Hypofractionated Dose Escalation to Intraprostatic Tumor Nodules in Localized Prostate Cancer: Efficacy and Toxicity in the DELINEATE Trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-03-15)
PURPOSE: To report a planned analysis of the efficacy and toxicity of dose escalation to the intraprostatic dominant nodule identified on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging using standard and hypofractionated ...
Long-term outcomes with intensive induction chemotherapy (carboplatin, bleomycin, vincristine and cisplatin/bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin) and standard bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin in poor prognosis germ cell tumours: A randomised phase II trial (ISRCTN53643604).
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Up to 50% of men with poor prognosis, non-seminoma germ cell tumours (GCTs) die with standard BEP (bleomycin, etoposide and cisplatin) chemotherapy. An intensive regimen, CBOP/BEP (carboplatin, bleomycin, ...
Association of Genomic Domains in BRCA1 and BRCA2 with Prostate Cancer Risk and Aggressiveness.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-02-01)
Pathogenic sequence variants (PSV) in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) are associated with increased risk and severity of prostate cancer. We evaluated whether PSVs in BRCA1/2 were associated with risk of overall prostate cancer ...
Extrameningeal solitary fibrous tumors-surgery alone or surgery plus perioperative radiotherapy: A retrospective study from the global solitary fibrous tumor initiative in collaboration with the Sarcoma Patients EuroNet.
(WILEY, 2020-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal malignancy. Although surgery is potentially curative, the local relapse risk is high after marginal resections. Given the lack of prospective clinical trial ...
