(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-01-01) -
Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2020-02-06)Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of ... -
Prostate-specific membrane antigen expression in melanoma metastases.
(WILEY, 2020-12-01)BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a prostatic epithelial protein that is used as a radiotracer (68Ga-PSMA-11) for prostate cancer staging. PSMA-PET/CT (positron emission tomography/computed tomography) ... -
Edge effects in 3D dosimetry: characterisation and correction of the non-uniform dose response of PRESAGE®.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2020-05-04)Previous work has shown that PRESAGE® can be used successfully to perform 3D dosimetric measurements of complex radiotherapy treatments. However, measurements near the sample edges are known to be difficult to achieve. ... -
Novel therapeutic strategies targeting telomere maintenance mechanisms in high-risk neuroblastoma.
(BMC, 2020-05-06)The majority of high-risk neuroblastomas can be divided into three distinct molecular subgroups defined by the presence of MYCN amplification, upstream TERT rearrangements or alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). The ... -
A Canadian approach to the regionalization of testis cancer: A review.
(2020-10)At the Canadian Testis Cancer Workshop, the rationale and feasibility of regionalization of testis cancer care were discussed. The two-day workshop involved urologists, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, ... -
A randomised Phase II trial of carboplatin and gemcitabine ± vandetanib in first-line treatment of patients with advanced urothelial cell cancer not suitable to receive cisplatin.
(WILEY, 2020-05-19)OBJECTIVES: To assess the efficacy and tolerability of the dual epidermal growth factor receptor/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor, vandetanib, in combination with carboplatin and gemcitabine in the ... -
MYCN expression induces replication stress and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma.
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2020-06-09)This study investigates the influence expression of the MYCN oncogene has on the DNA damage response, replication fork progression and sensitivity to PARP inhibition in neuroblastoma. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, ... -
Characterization of small PRESAGE (R) samples for measurements near the dosimeter edges
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-01-01) -
Patterns of practice for adaptive and real-time radiation therapy (POP-ART RT) part II: Offline and online plan adaption for interfractional changes.
(2020-12)Purpose The POP-ART RT study aims to determine to what extent and how intrafractional real-time respiratory motion management (RRMM), and plan adaptation for interfractional anatomical changes (ART) are used in clinical ... -
UKCGG Consensus Group guidelines for the management of patients with constitutional TP53 pathogenic variants.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-22)Constitutional pathogenic variants in TP53 are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or the more recently described heritable TP53-related cancer syndrome and are associated with increased lifetime risks of a wide spectrum ... -
A Genetic Risk Score to Personalize Prostate Cancer Screening, Applied to Population Data.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2020-09-01)BACKGROUND: A polygenic hazard score (PHS), the weighted sum of 54 SNP genotypes, was previously validated for association with clinically significant prostate cancer and for improved prostate cancer screening accuracy. ... -
Daily adaptive radiotherapy for patients with prostate cancer using a high field MR-linac: Initial clinical experiences and assessment of delivered doses compared to a C-arm linac.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2020-07-01)INTRODUCTION: MR-guided adapted radiotherapy (MRgART) using a high field MR-linac has recently become available. We report the estimated delivered fractional dose of the first five prostate cancer patients treated at our ... -
Prostate Cancer Risk by BRCA2 Genomic Regions.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-10-01)A BRCA2 prostate cancer cluster region (PCCR) was recently proposed (c.7914 to 3') wherein pathogenic variants (PVs) are associated with higher prostate cancer (PCa) risk than PVs elsewhere in the BRCA2 gene. Using a ... -
Combination Therapy With Reovirus and Anti-PD-1 Blockade Controls Tumor Growth Through Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses.
(CELL PRESS, 2016-01-01)Oncolytic reovirus can be delivered both systemically and intratumorally, in both preclinical models and in early phase clinical trials. Reovirus has direct oncolytic activity against a variety of tumor types and antitumor ... -
Assessment of optical CT as a future QA tool for synchrotron x-ray microbeam therapy.
(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2016-01-07)Synchrotron microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is an advanced form of radiotherapy for which it is extremely difficult to provide adequate quality assurance. This may delay or limit its clinical uptake, particularly in the ... -
Hyperbaric oxygen for patients with chronic bowel dysfunction after pelvic radiotherapy (HOT2): a randomised, double-blind, sham-controlled phase 3 trial.
