Near-infrared photoimmunotherapy targeting EGFR-Shedding new light on glioblastoma treatment.
(WILEY, 2018-06-01)Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-grade brain tumors, differentially driven by alterations (amplification, deletion or missense mutations) in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), that carry a poor prognosis of just ... -
18F-FDG PET/CT in Local Ablative Therapies: A Systematic Review.
(2018-04)Driven by the continuous improvement in the accuracy of cross-sectional imaging, image-guided minimally invasive local ablative therapies have received incremental interest over the past few years. In this article, we ... -
Influence of Confounding Factors on Radiation Dose Estimation Using In Vivo Validated Transcriptional Biomarkers.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-07-01)For triage purposes following a nuclear accident, blood-based gene expression biomarkers can provide rapid dose estimates for a large number of individuals. Ionizing-radiation-responsive genes are regulated through the DNA ... -
Perioperative events influence cancer recurrence risk after surgery.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-04-01)Surgery is a mainstay treatment for patients with solid tumours. However, despite surgical resection with a curative intent and numerous advances in the effectiveness of (neo)adjuvant therapies, metastatic disease remains ... -
Preoperative breast radiation therapy: Indications and perspectives.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017-09-01)Preoperative breast radiation therapy (RT) is not a new concept, but older studies failed to change practice. More recently, there has been interest in revisiting preoperative RT using modern techniques. This current ... -
The diagnostic value of 18F-FDG-PET/CT and MRI in suspected vertebral osteomyelitis - a prospective study.
(2018-05)PURPOSE:The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing vertebral ... -
Intrinsic subtypes and benefit from postmastectomy radiotherapy in node-positive premenopausal breast cancer patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy - results from two independent randomized trials.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018-01-01)BACKGROUND: The study of the intrinsic molecular subtypes of breast cancer has revealed differences among them in terms of prognosis and response to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy. However, the ability of intrinsic ... -
Domestic light at night and breast cancer risk: a prospective analysis of 105 000 UK women in the Generations Study.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2018-02-20)BACKGROUND: Circadian disruption caused by exposure to light at night (LAN) has been proposed as a risk factor for breast cancer and a reason for secular increases in incidence. Studies to date have largely been ecological ... -

E-Cadherin/ROS1 Inhibitor Synthetic Lethality in Breast Cancer.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2018-04-01)The cell adhesion glycoprotein E-cadherin (CDH1) is commonly inactivated in breast tumors. Precision medicine approaches that exploit this characteristic are not available. Using perturbation screens in breast tumor cells ... -
PARK2 loss promotes cancer progression via redox-mediated inactivation of PTEN.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2017-01-01)Cancer and Parkinson disease (PD) derive from distinct alterations in cellular processes, yet there are pathogenic mutations that are unequivocally linked to both diseases. Here we expand on our recent findings that loss ... -
FDXR is a biomarker of radiation exposure in vivo.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2018-01-15)Previous investigations in gene expression changes in blood after radiation exposure have highlighted its potential to provide biomarkers of exposure. Here, FDXR transcriptional changes in blood were investigated in humans ... -
Management of Men with Prostate-specific Antigen Failure After Prostate Radiotherapy: The Case Against Early Androgen Deprivation.
(ELSEVIER, 2018-04-01)In men with prostate-specific antigen failure after radical radiotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy should be delayed until the site of recurrence is known to allow consideration of curative treatment options, to delay ... -
Development of a framework to improve the process of recruitment to randomised controlled trials (RCTs): the SEAR (Screened, Eligible, Approached, Randomised) framework.
(BMC, 2018-01-19)BACKGROUND: Research has shown that recruitment to trials is a process that stretches from identifying potentially eligible patients, through eligibility assessment, to obtaining informed consent. The length and complexity ... -
Src Is a Potential Therapeutic Target in Endocrine-Resistant Breast Cancer Exhibiting Low Estrogen Receptor-Mediated Transactivation.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-06-16)Despite the effectiveness of endocrine therapies in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, approximately 40% of patients relapse. Previously, we identified the Focal-adhesion kinase canonical pathway as a major ... -
IGF1R signalling in testicular germ cell tumour cells impacts on cell survival and acquired cisplatin resistance.
(WILEY, 2018-02-01)Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most frequent malignancy and cause of death from solid tumours in the 20- to 40-year age group. Although most cases show sensitivity to cis-platinum-based chemotherapy, this is ... -
RORγt+ Innate Lymphoid Cells Promote Lymph Node Metastasis of Breast Cancers.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2017-03-01)Cancer cells tend to metastasize first to tumor-draining lymph nodes, but the mechanisms mediating cancer cell invasion into the lymphatic vasculature remain little understood. Here, we show that in the human breast tumor ...
