Updated recommendations regarding the management of older patients with breast cancer: a joint paper from the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists (EUSOMA) and the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2021-07-01)Breast cancer is increasingly prevalent in older adults and is a substantial part of routine oncology practice. However, management of breast cancer in this population is challenging because the disease is highly heterogeneous ... -
Impact of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy on Patient-reported Outcomes in Prostate Cancer: Results up to 5 yr in the CHHiP trial (CRUK/06/016).
(ELSEVIER, 2021-12-15)BACKGROUND: Moderate hypofractionation is the recommended standard of care for localised prostate cancer following the results of trials including Conventional or Hypofractionated High Dose Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy ... -
Quantitative assessment of patient suitability for magnetic resonance-guided High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Therapy
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Clinical assessment of a patient's suitability for magnetic resonance-guided high intensity focused ultrasound (MRgHIFU) therapy currently involves subjective judgements based on available diagnostic images and prior ... -
BRCA1 loss-of-function triggers metabolic vulnerability to glutamine deprivation
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Germline and somatic mutations of BRCA1 are associated with cancer initiation and progression. Although the role of BRCA1 is clearly defined in DNA-repair pathways, alternative functions of BRCA1 still remain obscure. Here, ... -
PET imaging to monitor NET-1 and GD2 expression in neuroblastoma
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Within neuroblastoma (NB), approximately 50% of patients are considered high-risk, presenting widespread distant metastasis and, frequently, MYCN amplification. NB is further characterised by the selective presence of the ... -
Can patient decision aids reduce decisional conflict in a de-escalation of breast radiotherapy clinical trial? The PRIMETIME Study Within a Trial implemented using a cluster stepped-wedge trial design.
(BMC, 2021-06-14)BACKGROUND: For patients with early breast cancer considered at very-low risk of local relapse, risks of radiotherapy may outweigh the benefits. Decisions regarding treatment omission can lead to patient uncertainty ... -
Can patient decision aids reduce decisional conflict in a de-escalation of breast radiotherapy clinical trial? The PRIMETIME Study Within a Trial implemented using a cluster stepped-wedge trial design.
(2021-06-14)<h4>Background</h4>For patients with early breast cancer considered at very-low risk of local relapse, risks of radiotherapy may outweigh the benefits. Decisions regarding treatment omission can lead to patient uncertainty ... -
Droplet digital PCR-based detection of circulating tumor DNA from pediatric high grade and diffuse midline glioma patients.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2021-01-01)BACKGROUND: The use of liquid biopsy is of potential high importance for children with high grade (HGG) and diffuse midline gliomas (DMG), particularly where surgical procedures are limited, and invasive biopsy sampling ... -
Molecular characterisation of muscle-invasive bladder cancer
(Institute of Cancer Research (University Of London), 2021-01-31)Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is a heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis. There is a clinical need for biomarkers in MIBC to guide treatment strategy for individual patients and improve outcomes. ... -
Cardiac safety of trabectedin monotherapy or in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in patients with sarcomas and ovarian cancer.
(2021-05-07)Background As with other alkylating agents, cardiac dysfunction can occur with trabectedin therapy for advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) or recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) where treatment options for advanced disease are ... -
Value of Early Circulating Tumor Cells Dynamics to Estimate Docetaxel Benefit in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) Patients.
(MDPI, 2021-05-12)Circulating tumor cell (CTC) enumeration and changes following treatment have been demonstrated to be superior to PSA response in determining mCRPC outcome in patients receiving AR signaling inhibitors but not taxanes. We ... -
Radiographer-led online image guided adaptive radiotherapy: A qualitative investigation of the therapeutic radiographer role.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-05-15)INTRODUCTION: Online MRI guided adaptive radiotherapy (MRIgRT) is resource intensive. To maintain and increase uptake traditional roles and responsibilities may need refining. This novel study aims to provide an in-depth ... -
Pathogenic ACVR1R206H activation by Activin A-induced receptor clustering and autophosphorylation.
(WILEY, 2021-07-15)Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) are debilitating diseases that share causal mutations in ACVR1, a TGF-β family type I receptor. ACVR1R206H is a frequent mutation in ... -
Deep Learning Enables Individual Xenograft Cell Classification in Histological Images by Analysis of Contextual Features.
(SPRINGER/PLENUM PUBLISHERS, 2021-06-01)Patient-Derived Xenografts (PDXs) are the preclinical models which best recapitulate inter- and intra-patient complexity of human breast malignancies, and are also emerging as useful tools to study the normal breast ... -
Colonic epithelial cathelicidin (LL-37) expression intensity is associated with progression of colorectal cancer and presence of CD8+ T cell infiltrate.
(WILEY, 2021-05-14)Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a leading cause of cancer mortality. Here, we define the colonic epithelial expression of cathelicidin (LL-37) in CRC. Cathelicidin exerts pleotropic effects including anti-microbial and ... -
Deciphering the signaling network of breast cancer improves drug sensitivity prediction.
(CELL PRESS, 2021-05-19)One goal of precision medicine is to tailor effective treatments to patients' specific molecular markers of disease. Here, we used mass cytometry to characterize the single-cell signaling landscapes of 62 breast cancer ... -
An antibody-drug conjugate with intracellular drug release properties showing specific cytotoxicity against CD7-positive cells.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2021-09-01)Refractory T cell acute leukaemias that no longer respond to treatment would benefit from new modalities that target T cell-specific surface proteins. T cell associated surface proteins (the surfaceome) offer possible ... -
