Development and responses of brain metastases during treatment with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer: A single institution experience.
(WILEY, 2018-05-01)
Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is an antibody-drug conjugate that does not cross an intact blood-brain barrier. In the EMILIA trial of T-DM1 vs capecitabine/lapatinib for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer, all patients ...
How Low Can You Go? The Radiobiology of Hypofractionation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)
Hypofractionated radical radiotherapy is now an accepted standard of care for tumour sites such as prostate and breast cancer. Much research effort is being directed towards more profoundly hypofractionated (ultrahypofractionated) ...
Locoregional control and toxicity following high-dose hypofractionated and accelerated palliative radiotherapy regimens in breast cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2023-09-01)
AIMS: For patients with locally advanced primary/recurrent breast cancer, radiotherapy is an effective treatment for locoregional control. 36 Gy in 6 Gy once-weekly fractions is a commonly used schedule, but there are no ...
From 25 Fractions to Five: How Hypofractionation has Revolutionised Adjuvant Breast Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2022-05-01)
There is a sound empirical basis for hypofractionation in radiotherapy for breast cancer. This article reviews the radiobiological implications of hypofractionation in breast cancer derived from a series of clinical trials ...
FFPE breast tumour blocks provide reliable sources of both germline and malignant DNA for investigation of genetic determinants of individual tumour responses to treatment.
(SPRINGER, 2018-08-01)
BACKGROUND: Bio-banked formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues provide an excellent opportunity for translational genomic research. Historically matched blood has not always been collected as a source of germline ...
Hypofractionated breast radiotherapy for 1 week versus 3 weeks (FAST-Forward): 5-year efficacy and late normal tissue effects results from a multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised, phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020-05-23)
BACKGROUND: We aimed to identify a five-fraction schedule of adjuvant radiotherapy (radiation therapy) delivered in 1 week that is non-inferior in terms of local cancer control and is as safe as an international standard ...
