DNA-PKcs is required for cGAS/STING-dependent viral DNA sensing in human cells.
(CELL PRESS, 2024-01-19)To mount an efficient interferon response to virus infection, intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) sense viral nucleic acids and activate anti-viral gene transcription. The mechanisms by which intracellular ... -
International Survey on Frailty Assessment in Patients with Cancer.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2022-10-01)BACKGROUND: Frailty negatively affects the outcomes of patients with cancer, and its assessment might vary widely in the real world. The objective of this study was to explore awareness and use of frailty screening tools ... -
Oncology-Led Early Identification of Nutritional Risk: A Pragmatic, Evidence-Based Protocol (PRONTO).
(MDPI, 2023-01-06)Nutritional issues, including malnutrition, low muscle mass, sarcopenia (i.e., low muscle mass and strength), and cachexia (i.e., weight loss characterized by a continuous decline in skeletal muscle mass, with or without ... -
Geriatric Oncology as an Unmet Workforce Training Need in the United Kingdom-A Narrative Review by the British Oncology Network for Undergraduate Societies (BONUS) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG) UK Country Group.
(MDPI, 2023-09-28)Cancer is a disease associated with ageing. Managing cancer in older adults may prove challenging owing to pre-existing frailty, comorbidity, and wider holistic needs, as well as the unclear benefits and harms of standard ... -
Bridging The Age Gap: observational cohort study of effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab on recurrence, survival and quality of life in older women with early breast cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-07-20)BACKGROUND: Chemotherapy improves outcomes for high risk early breast cancer (EBC) patients but is infrequently offered to older individuals. This study determined if there are fit older patients with high-risk disease who ... -
Prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease in Patients With Potentially Curable Malignancies: A National Registry Dataset Analysis.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-06-01)BACKGROUND: Although a common challenge for patients and clinicians, there is little population-level evidence on the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals diagnosed with potentially curable cancer. ... -
Chemotherapy and gene expression profiling in older early luminal breast cancer patients: An International Society of Geriatric Oncology systematic review.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-09-01)BACKGROUND: The benefit of chemotherapy for older patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative early breast cancer (EBC) is a key area of debate. Gene expression ... -
Development of Real-Time Motion-Including Dose Reconstruction on a Unity MR-Linac system
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2024-03-12)The first part of my thesis is concerned with estimating the motion of organs and other critical anatomical structures during radiotherapy treatments. I use 2D cine images acquired during MR-Linac treatments and compare ... -
