The mutational signatures of formalin fixation on the human genome.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-06)Clinical archives of patient material near-exclusively consist of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks. The ability to precisely characterise mutational signatures from FFPE-derived DNA has tremendous ... -
High p16 expression and heterozygous RB1 loss are biomarkers for CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance in ER+ breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-09-07)CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy have demonstrated higher antitumor activity than endocrine therapy alone for the treatment of advanced estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Some of these tumors are ... -
Diffusion-weighted MRI to determine response and long-term clinical outcomes in muscle-invasive bladder cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-11-14)OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine local treatment response and long-term survival outcomes in patients with localised muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) using ... -
Pharmacological strategies to reduce anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity in cancer patients.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-09-15)INTRODUCTION: Anthracycline chemotherapeutic agents are widely used in the treatment of hematological and solid tumors, working principally through DNA intercalation and topoisomerase II inhibition. However, they are also ... -
A novel molecular signature identifies mixed subtypes in renal cell carcinoma with poor prognosis and independent response to immunotherapy.
(BMC, 2022-09-15)BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a heterogeneous disease comprising histologically defined subtypes. For therapy selection, precise subtype identification and individualized prognosis are mandatory, but currently ... -
Analysis of rare disruptive germline mutations in 2135 enriched BRCA-negative breast cancers excludes additional high-impact susceptibility genes.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-12-01)BACKGROUND: Breast cancer has a significant heritable basis, of which ∼60% remains unexplained. Testing for BRCA1/BRCA2 offers useful discrimination of breast cancer risk within families, and identification of additional ... -
Rhabdomyosarcoma with unknown primary tumor site: A report from European pediatric Soft tissue sarcoma Study Group (EpSSG).
(WILEY, 2022-11-01)BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive malignancy, and 20% of children present with metastases at diagnosis. Patients presenting with disseminated disease very occasionally have no clear evidence of a primary ... -

The roles of intratumour heterogeneity in the biology and treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2022-10-14)Intratumour heterogeneity (ITH) has become an important focus of cancer research in recent years. ITH describes the cellular variation that enables tumour evolution, including tumour progression, metastasis and resistance ... -
Overall Survival With Maintenance Olaparib at a 7-Year Follow-Up in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Advanced Ovarian Cancer and a BRCA Mutation: The SOLO1/GOG 3004 Trial.
(American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2022-09-09)PURPOSE: In SOLO1/GOG 3004 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01844986), maintenance therapy with the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib provided a sustained progression-free survival benefit in patients with ... -
MRI-guided adaptive radiotherapy for prostate cancer: When do we need to account for intra-fraction motion?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-11-01)A shift of the daily plan can mitigate target position changes that occur between daily MR acquisition and treatment for MR-linac radiotherapy, but increases the session time. We demonstrated that our workflow strategy and ... -
Personalized (N-of-1) Trials for Patient-Centered Treatments of Multimorbidity.
(MIT Press, 2022-09-08)Treatment of patients who suffer from concurrent health conditions is not well served by (1) evidence-based clinical guidelines that mainly specify treatment of single conditions and (2) conventional randomized controlled ... -
Intracellular Metabolomics Identifies Efflux Transporter Inhibitors in a Routine Caco-2 Cell Permeability Assay-Biological Implications.
(MDPI, 2022-10-19)Caco-2 screens are routinely used in laboratories to measure the permeability of compounds and can identify substrates of efflux transporters. In this study, we hypothesized that efflux transporter inhibition of a compound ... -
Follicular thyroid carcinoma presenting with pathological fracture of the humerus at initial diagnosis.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2017-01-19)Differentiated carcinomas of the thyroid gland usually have a good prognosis with prognosis often discussed in terms of 20 year survival. Nevertheless its 10-year-survival rate decreases when accompanied by distant metastasis. ... -
Snap, crackle and pop: when sneezing leads to crackling in the neck.
(BMJ, 2018-01-15)Spontaneous perforation of the pharynx is an unusual condition. Due to its non-specific presentation and general lack of awareness, diagnosis and intervention may be delayed resulting in potential complications. This case ... -
Tracheo-oesophageal fistula: a delayed complication of missed inhaled magnetic toys.
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2018-02-01)Delayed diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) aspiration is not uncommon in children. It occurs when symptoms are underappreciated and/or radiological findings are overlooked. In such cases serious complications ... -
