Properties of non-coding mutation hotspots as urinary biomarkers for bladder cancer detection.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2023-01-19)Mutations at specific hotspots in non-coding regions of ADGRG6, PLEKHS1, WDR74, TBC1D12 and LEPROTL1 frequently occur in bladder cancer (BC). These mutations could function as biomarkers for the non-invasive detection of ... -
Mobile Health Solutions for Prostate Cancer Diagnostics-A Systematic Review.
(MDPI, 2023-07-28)Prostate cancer, the most common cause of cancer in men in the UK and one of the most common around the world to date, has no consensus on screening. Multiple large-scale trials from around the world have produced conflicting ... -

(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2023-10-06)INTRODUCTION: Patients undergoing prostate radiotherapy with an enlarged prostate can have short-term and long-term urinary complications. Currently, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is the mainstay surgical ... -
The applicability of scoring calyculin A-induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC) objects for dose assessment including for radiotherapy patients.
(S. Karger AG, 2023-10-19)As an extension to a previous study, a linear calibration curve covering doses from 0 to 10 Gy was constructed and evaluated in the present study using calyculin A-induced premature chromosome condensation (PCC) by scoring ... -
Finite Element simulation of methods for improving tissue ultrasound backscatter coefficient estimation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2023-10-02)This thesis will describe the efforts to generate Finite Element simulations of methods to improve the accuracy and reliability of backscatter coefficient methods (BSC). BSC measurements are a promising diagnostic tool in ... -
Pseudoprogression in patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma treated with first-line single-agent doxorubicin.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2023-10-01)AIM: To evaluate the incidence of pseudoprogression in patients with metastatic or inoperable uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) treated with first-line single-agent doxorubicin. METHODS: The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust ... -
Management of the vertebrae as an organ at risk in paediatric radiotherapy clinical trials: Initial QUARTET experience.
(Elsevier BV, 2023-10-01)Irradiation of the vertebrae in prepubertal patients, if non-homogenous, can result in future growth deformities including kyphoscoliosis. Vertebral delineation and dosimetry were assessed for 101 paediatric cases reviewed ... -
MRI Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) as a Biomarker of Tumour Response: Imaging-Pathology Correlation in Patients with Hepatic Metastases from Colorectal Cancer (EORTC 1423).
(MDPI, 2023-07-12)Background: Tumour apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a putative pharmacodynamic/response biomarker but the relationship between drug-induced effects on the ADC ... -
Recommendations for improved reproducibility of ADC derivation on behalf of the Elekta MRI-linac consortium image analysis working group.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2023-09-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), a potential imaging biomarker for radiotherapy response, needs to be reproducible before translation into clinical use. The aim of this study was to evaluate ... -
Looking Back: International Practice Patterns in Breast Radiation Oncology From a Case-Based Survey Across 54 Countries During the First Surge of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2023-07-01)PURPOSE: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected cancer care worldwide, including radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer (BC), because of risk-based resource allocation. We report the evolution of international ... -
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 ... -
Evaluation of Performance Tradeoffs When Using Mechanically Swept 1-D Linear Arrays for 3-D DCE-US.
(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2023-07-01)Dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging (DCE-US) may be used to characterize tumor vascular perfusion using metrics derived from time-amplitude curves (TACs). The 3-D DCE-US enables generation of 3-D parametric maps ... -
Accelerating 4D image reconstruction for magnetic resonance-guided radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER, 2023-07-01)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Physiological motion impacts the dose delivered to tumours and vital organs in external beam radiotherapy and particularly in particle therapy. The excellent soft-tissue demarcation of 4D magnetic ... -
Enhancing anti-tumour innate immunity by targeting the DNA damage response and pattern recognition receptors in combination with radiotherapy
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-08-29)<jats:p>Radiotherapy is one of the most effective and frequently used treatments for a wide range of cancers. In addition to its direct anti-cancer cytotoxic effects, ionising radiation can augment the anti-tumour immune ... -
Joint radial trajectory correction for accelerated T2 * mapping on an MR-Linac.
(WILEY, 2023-05-27)BACKGROUND: T2 * mapping can characterize tumor hypoxia, which may be associated with resistance to therapy. Acquiring T2 * maps during MR-guided radiotherapy could inform treatment adaptation by, for example, escalating ... -
Locoregional control and toxicity following high-dose hypofractionated and accelerated palliative radiotherapy regimens in breast cancer.
