Evaluation of non-vendor magnetic resonance imaging sequences for use in bladder cancer magnetic resonance image guided radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-07-01)
Hybrid systems that combine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and linear accelerators are available clinically to guide and adapt radiotherapy. Vendor-approved MRI sequences are provided, however alternative sequences may ...
Circulating Tumour DNA in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer.
(MDPI, 2018-08-29)
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is an attractive tool in cancer research, offering many advantages over tissue samples obtained using traditional biopsy methods. There has been increasing interest in its application to ...
Chemical- and radiation-induced haemorrhagic cystitis: current treatments and challenges.
(WILEY, 2013-11-01)
• To review the published data on predisposing risk factors for cancer treatment-induced haemorrhagic cystitis (HC) and the evidence for the different preventive and therapeutic measures that have been used in order to ...
The Patient Deficit Model Overturned: a qualitative study of patients' perceptions of invitation to participate in a randomized controlled trial comparing selective bladder preservation against surgery in muscle invasive bladder cancer (SPARE, CRUK/07/011).
(2012-11-29)
Background Evidence suggests that poor recruitment into clinical trials rests on a patient 'deficit' model - an inability to comprehend trial processes. Poor communication has also been cited as a possible barrier to ...
Dose-limiting Urinary Toxicity With Pembrolizumab Combined With Weekly Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy in Bladder Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-08-01)
There is currently significant interest in the potential benefits of combining radiation and immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) to stimulate both regional and distant abscopal immune responses. In melanoma and lung cancer, ...
Outcomes of relapsed clinical stage I versus de novo metastatic testicular cancer patients: an analysis of the IGCCCG Update database.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2023-11-23)
BACKGROUND: Active surveillance after orchiectomy is the preferred management in clinical stage I (CSI) germ-cell tumours (GCT) associated with a 15 to 30% relapse rate. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In the IGCCCG Update database, ...
Evaluating atezolizumab in patients with urinary tract squamous cell carcinoma (AURORA): study protocol for a single arm, open-label, multicentre, phase II clinical trial.
(BMC, 2023-09-19)
BACKGROUND: Bladder and urinary tract cancers account for approximately 21,000 new diagnoses and 5,000 deaths annually in the UK. Approximately 90% are transitional cell carcinomas where advanced disease is treated with ...
Hypofractionated radiotherapy in locally advanced bladder cancer: an individual patient data meta-analysis of the BC2001 and BCON trials.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Two radiotherapy fractionation schedules are used to treat locally advanced bladder cancer: 64 Gy in 32 fractions over 6·5 weeks and a hypofractionated schedule of 55 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks. Long-term ...
Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk.
(WILEY, 2019-07-01)
BACKGROUND: Testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has ...
Patient-reported Quality of Life Outcomes in Patients Treated for Muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer with Radiotherapy ± Chemotherapy in the BC2001 Phase III Randomised Controlled Trial.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-02-01)
BACKGROUND: BC2001, the largest randomised trial of bladder-sparing treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, demonstrated improvement of local control and bladder cancer-specific survival from the addition of concomitant ...
