Repeatability of derived parameters from histograms following non-Gaussian diffusion modelling of diffusion-weighted imaging in a paediatric oncological cohort.
(SPRINGER, 2017-01-01)
OBJECTIVES: To examine repeatability of parameters derived from non-Gaussian diffusion models in data acquired in children with solid tumours. METHODS: Paediatric patients (<16 years, n = 17) were scanned twice, 24 h apart, ...
Circulating vitamin D concentration and risk of seven cancers: Mendelian randomisation study.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-10-31)
Objective To determine if circulating concentrations of vitamin D are causally associated with risk of cancer.Design Mendelian randomisation study.Setting Large genetic epidemiology networks (the Genetic Associations and ...
Near-infrared dual bioluminescence imaging in mouse models of cancer using infraluciferin.
(eLIFE SCIENCES PUBL LTD, 2019-10-15)
Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) is ubiquitous in scientific research for the sensitive tracking of biological processes in small animal models. However, due to the attenuation of visible light by tissue, and the limited set ...
FDXR is a biomarker of radiation exposure in vivo.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-15)
Previous investigations in gene expression changes in blood after radiation exposure have highlighted its potential to provide biomarkers of exposure. Here, FDXR transcriptional changes in blood were investigated in humans ...
Strategies and technical challenges for imaging oligometastatic disease: Recommendations from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer imaging group.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-03-01)
Patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) often have controllable symptoms, and cures are possible. Technical improvements in surgery and radiotherapy have introduced the option of metastasis-directed ablative therapies ...
Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-07-01)
For triage purposes following a nuclear accident, blood-based gene expression biomarkers can provide rapid dose estimates for a large number of individuals. Ionizing-radiation-responsive genes are regulated through the DNA ...
What's New for Clinical Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) in the 21st Century.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2020-11-01)
Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) has evolved since its first introduction in the 1970s as an imaging technique to detect and survey disease across multiple sites and organ systems in the body. The development of diffusion-weighted ...
A tailored molecular profiling programme for children with cancer to identify clinically actionable genetic alterations.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2019-11-01)
BACKGROUND: For children with cancer, the clinical integration of precision medicine to enable predictive biomarker-based therapeutic stratification is urgently needed. METHODS: We have developed a hybrid-capture next-generation ...
Half of germline pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants found on panel tests do not fulfil NHS testing criteria.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-02-21)
Genetic testing for cancer predisposition has been curtailed by the cost of sequencing, and testing has been restricted by eligibility criteria. As the cost of sequencing decreases, the question of expanding multi-gene ...
