Radiological evaluation of malignant pleural mesothelioma - defining distant metastatic disease.
(BMC, 2020-12-09)BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is traditionally characterized by local destructive spread of the pleura and surrounding tissues. Patient outcomes in MPM with distant metastatic dissemination are lacking. ... -
The CHEK2 Variant C.349A>G Is Associated with Prostate Cancer Risk and Carriers Share a Common Ancestor.
(MDPI, 2020-11-04)The identification of recurrent founder variants in cancer predisposing genes may have important implications for implementing cost-effective targeted genetic screening strategies. In this study, we evaluated the prevalence ... -
Two-stage Study of Familial Prostate Cancer by Whole-exome Sequencing and Custom Capture Identifies 10 Novel Genes Associated with the Risk of Prostate Cancer.
(ELSEVIER, 2020-08-13)BACKGROUND: Family history of prostate cancer (PCa) is a well-known risk factor, and both common and rare genetic variants are associated with the disease. OBJECTIVE: To detect new genetic variants associated with PCa, ... -
FRMD6 has tumor suppressor functions in prostate cancer.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2021-01-28)Available tools for prostate cancer (PC) prognosis are suboptimal but may be improved by better knowledge about genes driving tumor aggressiveness. Here, we identified FRMD6 (FERM domain-containing protein 6) as an aberrantly ... -
An evaluation of self-perceived knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of UK oncologists about LGBTQ+ patients with cancer.
(2020-11)Introduction Over one million people in the UK identify as LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning). Research has shown that this population experience differing cancer risk factors compared with ... -
Impact of COVID-19 on cancer service delivery: results from an international survey of oncology clinicians.
(2020-12)Objectives: To report clinician-perceived changes to cancer service delivery in response to COVID-19. Design: Multidisciplinary Australasian cancer clinician survey in collaboration with the European Society of Medical ... -
First-line PARP inhibitors in ovarian cancer: summary of an <i>ESMO Open - Cancer Horizons</i> round-table discussion.
(2020-11)Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor maintenance therapy is the latest breakthrough in the management of newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. The results of the SOLO-1 trial in 2018 led to European Medicines ... -
Systemic Radiotherapy of Bone Metastases With Radionuclides.
(2021-02)Treatments of bone metastases using radionuclides are now well established in oncology. It is also a field that continues to develop. This article reviews the evidence base that led to the approval of strontium-89 and ... -
SOLLID - a single centre study to develop methods to investigate the effects of low radiation doses within nuclear medicine, to enable multicentre epidemiological investigations.
(BRITISH INST RADIOLOGY, 2021-03-01)There is continuing debate concerning the risks of secondary malignancies from low levels of radiation exposure. The current model used for radiation protection is predicated on the assumption that even very low levels of ... -
Recommendations for Multicentre Clinical Trials Involving Dosimetry for Molecular Radiotherapy.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE LONDON, 2021-02-01)Multicentre clinical trials involving a dosimetry component are becoming more prevalent in molecular radiotherapy and are essential to generate the evidence to support individualised approaches to treatment planning and ... -
Development and validation for research assessment of Oncotype DX® Breast Recurrence Score, EndoPredict® and Prosigna®.
(NATURE RESEARCH, 2021-02-12)Multi-gene prognostic signatures including the Oncotype® DX Recurrence Score (RS), EndoPredict® (EP) and Prosigna® (Risk Of Recurrence, ROR) are widely used to predict the likelihood of distant recurrence in patients with ... -
Image Contrast, Image Pre-Processing, and T1 Mapping Affect MRI Radiomic Feature Repeatability in Patients with Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastases.
(MDPI, 2021-01-11)Imaging biomarkers require technical, biological, and clinical validation to be translated into robust tools in research or clinical settings. This study contributes to the technical validation of radiomic features from ... -
The management of desmoid tumours: A joint global consensus-based guideline approach for adult and paediatric patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-03-01)Desmoid tumor (DT; other synonymously used terms: Desmoid-type fibromatosis, aggressive fibromatosis) is a rare and locally aggressive monoclonal, fibroblastic proliferation characterised by a variable and often unpredictable ... -
