Baseline results from the UK SIGNIFY study: a whole-body MRI screening study in TP53 mutation carriers and matched controls.
(SPRINGER, 2017-07-01)
In the United Kingdom, current screening guidelines for TP53 germline mutation carriers solely recommends annual breast MRI, despite the wide spectrum of malignancies typically seen in this group. This study sought to ...
Assessment of polygenic architecture and risk prediction based on common variants across fourteen cancers.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-07-03)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the identification of hundreds of susceptibility loci across cancers, but the impact of further studies remains uncertain. Here we analyse summary-level data from GWAS of ...
3D tumour spheroids for the prediction of the effects of radiation and hyperthermia treatments.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-03)
For multimodality therapies such as the combination of hyperthermia and radiation, quantification of biological effects is key for dose prescription and response prediction. Tumour spheroids have a microenvironment that ...
A cellular automaton model for spheroid response to radiation and hyperthermia treatments.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2019-11-27)
Thermo-radiosensitisation is a promising approach for treatment of radio-resistant tumours such as those containing hypoxic subregions. Response prediction and treatment planning should account for tumour response ...
A rapid review of evidence and recommendations from the SIOPE radiation oncology working group to help mitigate for reduced paediatric radiotherapy capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic or other crises.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-07-01)
OBJECTIVE: To derive evidence-based recommendations for the optimal utilisation of resources during unexpected shortage of radiotherapy capacity. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We have undertaken a rapid review of published ...
Association Between Telomere Length and Risk of Cancer and Non-Neoplastic Diseases: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
(AMER MEDICAL ASSOC, 2017-05-01)
IMPORTANCE: The causal direction and magnitude of the association between telomere length and incidence of cancer and non-neoplastic diseases is uncertain owing to the susceptibility of observational studies to confounding ...
