Fine-mapping of 150 breast cancer risk regions identifies 191 likely target genes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-01-07)
Genome-wide association studies have identified breast cancer risk variants in over 150 genomic regions, but the mechanisms underlying risk remain largely unknown. These regions were explored by combining association ...
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 ...
Identification of nine new susceptibility loci for testicular cancer, including variants near DAZL and PRDM14.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2013-06-01)
Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is the most common cancer in young men and is notable for its high familial risks. So far, six loci associated with TGCT have been reported. From genome-wide association study (GWAS) ...
Ki67 Is an Independent Predictor of Recurrence in the Largest Randomized Trial of 3 Radiation Fractionation Schedules in Localized Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2018-06-01)
PURPOSE: To assess whether the cellular proliferation marker Ki67 provides prognostic information and predicts response to radiation therapy fractionation in patients with localized prostate tumors participating in a ...
Evaluation of erectile potency and radiation dose to the penile bulb using image guided radiotherapy in the CHHiP trial.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-03-01)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The penile bulb (PB) dose may be critical in development of post prostate radiotherapy erectile dysfunction (ED). This study aimed to generate PB dose constraints based on dose-volume histograms ...
The PROFILE Feasibility Study: Targeted Screening of Men With a Family History of Prostate Cancer.
(WILEY, 2016-06-01)
BACKGROUND: A better assessment of individualized prostate cancer (PrCa) risk is needed to improve screening. The use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level for screening in the general population has limitations and ...
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 ...
Cross-Cancer Genome-Wide Analysis of Lung, Ovary, Breast, Prostate, and Colorectal Cancer Reveals Novel Pleiotropic Associations.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2016-09-01)
Identifying genetic variants with pleiotropic associations can uncover common pathways influencing multiple cancers. We took a two-stage approach to conduct genome-wide association studies for lung, ovary, breast, prostate, ...
Identification of 19 new risk loci and potential regulatory mechanisms influencing susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-07-01)
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed understanding of susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but much of the heritability remains unexplained. Here we report a new GWAS, a meta-analysis ...
A step and shoot intensity modulated technique for total body irradiation.
(Elsevier BV, 2019-06-01)
INTRODUCTION: Total body irradiation (TBI) is a part of the conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplant.At the Royal Marsden (Sutton, UK) and Rigshospitalet (Copenhagen, Denmark), we introduced a step and shoot IMRT ...
