MUKtwelve protocol: a phase II randomised, controlled, open, parallel group, multicentre trial of selinexor, cyclophosphamide and prednisolone (SCP) versus cyclophosphamide and prednisolone (CP) in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
(BMJ PUBLISHING GROUP, 2022-10-26)INTRODUCTION: Multiple myeloma is a malignancy of plasma cells with around 6000 new cases per year in the UK. Cyclophosphamide plus prednisolone is considered a standard of care for disease and symptom control in the ... -
Milestones in dosimetry for nuclear medicine therapy.
(British Institute of Radiology, 2022-07-01)Nuclear Medicine therapy has reached a critical juncture with an unprecedented number of patients being treated and an extensive list of new radiopharmaceuticals under development. Since the early applications of these ... -
Cost-effectiveness of 5 fraction and partial breast radiotherapy for early breast cancer in the UK: model-based multi-trial analysis

PPM1D mutations silence NAPRT gene expression and confer NAMPT inhibitor sensitivity in glioma.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2019-08-22)Pediatric high-grade gliomas are among the deadliest of childhood cancers due to limited knowledge of early driving events in their gliomagenesis and the lack of effective therapies available. In this study, we investigate ... -
The Cancer Hub Approach for Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery During COVID-19 Pandemic: Outcomes from a UK Cancer Centre.
(SPRINGER, 2022-10-18)BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused unprecedented disruption to global healthcare delivery. In England, the majority of elective surgery was postponed or cancelled to increase intensive care ... -
Deep-learned estimation of uncertainty in measurements of apparent diffusion coefficient from whole-body diffusion-weighted MRI.
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2022-10-01)PURPOSE: To use deep learning to calculate the uncertainty in apparent diffusion coefficient (σADC) voxel-wise measurements to clinically impact the monitoring of treatment response and improve the quality of ADC maps. ... -
Structure of a nucleosome-bound MuvB transcription factor complex reveals DNA remodelling.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-29)Genes encoding the core cell cycle machinery are transcriptionally regulated by the MuvB family of protein complexes in a cell cycle-specific manner. Complexes of MuvB with the transcription factors B-MYB and FOXM1 activate ... -
Images and images: Current roles of therapeutic radiographers.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-11-01)INTRODUCTION: Therapeutic radiography is a small profession and has adapted in response to advanced techniques. An increase in on-line adaptive MRI-guided radiotherapy (MRIgRT) will require role extension for therapeutic ... -
Epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity determines estrogen receptor positive breast cancer dormancy and epithelial reconversion drives recurrence.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-08-25)More than 70% of human breast cancers (BCs) are estrogen receptor α-positive (ER+). A clinical challenge of ER+ BC is that they can recur decades after initial treatments. Mechanisms governing latent disease remain elusive ... -
Detection of BRCA1, BRCA2, and ATM Alterations in Matched Tumor Tissue and Circulating Tumor DNA in Patients with Prostate Cancer Screened in PROfound.
(American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), 2022-08-31)PURPOSE: Not all patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) have sufficient tumor tissue available for multigene molecular testing. Furthermore, samples may fail because of difficulties within ... -

(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-05-01)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Opsoclonus-myoclonus-ataxia syndrome (OMAS) is a rare disorder of the nervous system that classically presents with a combination of characteristic eye movement disorder and myoclonus, in addition ... -
Phenotypic plasticity and genetic control in colorectal cancer evolution.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-10-26)Genetic and epigenetic variation, together with transcriptional plasticity, contribute to intratumour heterogeneity1. The interplay of these biological processes and their respective contributions to tumour evolution remain ... -
The co-evolution of the genome and epigenome in colorectal cancer.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-10-26)Colorectal malignancies are a leading cause of cancer-related death1 and have undergone extensive genomic study2,3. However, DNA mutations alone do not fully explain malignant transformation4-7. Here we investigate the ... -
Discovering cell-active BCL6 inhibitors: effectively combining biochemical HTS with multiple biophysical techniques, X-ray crystallography and cell-based assays.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2022-11-03)By suppressing gene transcription through the recruitment of corepressor proteins, B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) protein controls a transcriptional network required for the formation and maintenance of B-cell germinal centres. ... -
