Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of colorectal cancer in Denmark.
<h4>Introduction</h4>The COVID-19 pandemic has had a global impact on cancer care but the extent to which this has affected the management of colorectal cancer (CRC) in different countries is unknown. CRC management in ... -
Quality of Life in Men With Prostate Cancer Randomly Allocated to Receive Docetaxel or Abiraterone in the STAMPEDE Trial.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-03-10)PURPOSE: Docetaxel and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone or prednisolone (AAP) both improve survival when commenced alongside standard of care (SOC) androgen deprivation therapy in locally advanced or metastatic ... -
Targeted therapy for LIMD1-deficient non-small cell lung cancer subtypes.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-11-11)An early event in lung oncogenesis is loss of the tumour suppressor gene LIMD1 (LIM domains containing 1); this encodes a scaffold protein, which suppresses tumorigenesis via a number of different mechanisms. Approximately ... -
Real-world experience with doxorubicin and olaratumab in soft tissue sarcomas in England and Northern Ireland.
(BMC, 2020-05-06)BACKGROUND: A randomised phase II trial demonstrated that the addition of olaratumab to doxorubicin significantly increased overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) compared to doxorubicin ... -
Recognising the challenges of implementing multi-centre adaptive plan of the day radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-03-01)Two multicentre adaptive radiotherapy trials utilising Plan of the Day (PoD) with a library of plans were introduced in 35 centres. The common issues that arose from all centres when introducing PoD were collated ... -
Determinants of anti-PD-1 response and resistance in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-11-08)ADAPTeR is a prospective, phase II study of nivolumab (anti-PD-1) in 15 treatment-naive patients (115 multiregion tumor samples) with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) aiming to understand the mechanism ... -
Risk of thyroid disorders in adult and childhood Hodgkin lymphoma survivors 40 years after treatment.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-02-23)Thyroid abnormalities are well reported following childhood treatment for Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL). Limited information exists for adult patients and after modern treatments. We analyzed risks of thyroid disorders in 237 ... -
Functional annotation of breast cancer risk loci: current progress and future directions.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-04-01)Genome-wide association studies coupled with large-scale replication and fine-scale mapping studies have identified more than 150 genomic regions that are associated with breast cancer risk. Here, we review efforts to ... -
Cancer drivers and clonal dynamics in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia subtypes.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-11-09)To obtain a comprehensive picture of composite genetic driver events and clonal dynamics in subtypes of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) we analysed tumour-normal whole genome sequencing and expression data ... -
Factors affecting accuracy and precision in ultrasound guided radiotherapy.
<h4>Background and purpose</h4>Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is used clinically for directly assessing prostate motion. Factors affecting accuracy and precision in TPUS motion estimation must be assessed to realise its ... -
Evaluation of a urology specialist therapeutic radiographer implemented radiotherapy pathway for prostate cancer patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-04-15)INTRODUCTION: The role of the Urology Specialist Therapeutic Radiographer (USTR) was introduced to support a busy NHS uro-oncology practice. Key objectives were to improve patient preparedness for and experience of ... -

Triggering anti-GBM immune response with EGFR-mediated photoimmunotherapy.
(BMC, 2022-01-21)BACKGROUND: Surgical resection followed by chemo-radiation postpones glioblastoma (GBM) progression and extends patient survival, but these tumours eventually recur. Multimodal treatment plans combining intraoperative ... -
Magnetic resonance linear accelerator technology and adaptive radiation therapy: An overview for clinicians.
Radiation therapy (RT) continues to play an important role in the treatment of cancer. Adaptive RT (ART) is a novel method through which RT treatments are evolving. With the ART approach, computed tomography or magnetic ... -
Time management: Improving the timing of post-prostatectomy radiotherapy, clinical trials, and knowledge translation.
<h4>Background</h4>Management of prostate cancer after surgery is controversial. Past studies on adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT) for higher-risk features have had conflicting results. Through the collaborative conversations ... -
