Application of a risk-management framework for integration of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in clinical trials.
(2020-05-12)Stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) are a potential predictive biomarker for immunotherapy response in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). To incorporate sTILs into clinical trials and diagnostics, ... -
Evidence-based guidelines for managing patients with primary ER+ HER2- breast cancer deferred from surgery due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2020-06-08)Many patients with ER+ HER2- primary breast cancer are being deferred from surgery to neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NeoET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have collated data from multiple international trials of presurgical ... -
Inter-Observer Variation in Delineating the Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscle as Organ at Risk in Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2021-03-09)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate the inter-observer variation (IOV) in pharyngeal constrictor muscle (PCM) contouring, and resultant impact on dosimetry and estimated toxicity, as part of the pre-trial radiotherapy trial ... -
An ionising radiation-induced specific transcriptional signature of inflammation-associated genes in whole blood from radiotherapy patients: a pilot study.
(BMC, 2021-05-03)BACKGROUND: This communication reports the identification of a new panel of transcriptional changes in inflammation-associated genes observed in response to ionising radiation received by radiotherapy patients. METHODS: ... -
Five-fraction Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: FAST-Forward to Implementation.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2023-05-19)INTRODUCTION: The phase 3 FAST-Forward trial reported outcomes for 26 and 27 Gy schedules delivered in 5 fractions over 1 week versus 40 Gy in 15 fractions over 3 weeks in 4000 patients. We discuss concerns raised by the ... -
Quantification of Differential Response of Tumour and Normal Cells to Microbeam Radiation in the Absence of FLASH Effects.
(MDPI, 2021-06-29)Microbeam radiotherapy (MRT) is a preclinical method of delivering spatially-fractionated radiotherapy aiming to improve the therapeutic window between normal tissue complication and tumour control. Previously, MRT was ... -
Active multiple myeloma suppresses and typically eliminates coexisting MGUS.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2017-09-05)BACKGROUND: Myeloma is consistently preceded by premalignant monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). In >5% of MGUS patients there is a second MGUS clone (biclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance; ... -
Tumour-agnostic drugs in paediatric cancers.
The recognition that new cancer drugs can be truly tumour-agnostic based on mechanism-of-action is important for paediatric cancers, where access to novel targeted therapies developed for adult indications has sometimes ... -
Addressing intimate partner violence during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond: how radiologists can make a difference.
Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries both in Europe and across the world implemented strict stay-at-home orders. These measures helped to slow the spread of the coronavirus but also led to increased mental and ... -
