Somatic PIK3CA Mutations in Sporadic Cerebral Cavernous Malformations.
(MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL SOC, 2021-09-09)BACKGROUND: Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are common sporadic and inherited vascular malformations of the central nervous system. Although familial CCMs are linked to loss-of-function mutations in KRIT1 (CCM1), ... -
Clinical activity of ripretinib in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor harboring heterogenous KIT/PDGFRA mutations in the phase 3 INVICTUS study.
(2021-09-09)Purpose Most patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) have activating mutations in KIT/PDGFRA and are initially responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The acquisition of secondary mutations leads to ... -
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on patterns of attendance at emergency departments in two large London hospitals: an observational study.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-09-23)BACKGROUND: Hospitals in England have undergone considerable change to address the surge in demand imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this on emergency department (ED) attendances is unknown, especially for ... -
Efficacy and safety of larotrectinib in TRK fusion-positive primary central nervous system tumors
Abstract Background Larotrectinib is a first-in-class, highly selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor approved to treat adult and pediatric patients with TRK fusion-positive cancer. The aim of this study was ... -
Is surveillance imaging in pediatric patients treated for localized rhabdomyosarcoma useful? The European experience.
Background After the completion of therapy, patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are subjected to intensive radiological tumor surveillance. However, the clinical benefit of this surveillance is unclear. This ... -
Local staging and treatment in extremity rhabdomyosarcoma. A report from the EpSSG-RMS2005 study.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the extremities present with two main challenges: correct evaluation of initial regional nodal involvement and define adequate local treatment. Methods Pediatric patients with localized rhabdomyosarcoma ... -
Semi-Quantitative Mass Spectrometry in AML Cells Identifies New Non-Genomic Targets of the EZH2 Methyltransferase.
(MDPI, 2017-07-05)Alterations to the gene encoding the EZH2 (KMT6A) methyltransferase, including both gain-of-function and loss-of-function, have been linked to a variety of haematological malignancies and solid tumours, suggesting a complex, ... -
The biguanide polyamine analog verlindamycin promotes differentiation in neuroblastoma via induction of antizyme.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-09-14)Deregulated polyamine biosynthesis is emerging as a common feature of neuroblastoma and drugs targeting this metabolic pathway such as DFMO are in clinical and preclinical development. The polyamine analog verlindamycin ... -

In vivo reprogramming of non-mammary cells to an epithelial cell fate is independent of amphiregulin signaling.
(COMPANY OF BIOLOGISTS LTD, 2017-06-15)Amphiregulin (AREG)-/- mice demonstrate impaired mammary development and form only rudimentary ductal epithelial trees; however, AREG-/- glands are still capable of undergoing alveologenesis and lactogenesis during pregnancy. ... -
Atlas of Lobular Breast Cancer Models: Challenges and Strategic Directions.
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) accounts for up to 15% of all breast cancer (BC) cases and responds well to endocrine treatment when estrogen receptor α-positive (ER+) yet differs in many biological aspects from other ER+ ... -
