Identifying health-related quality of life cut-off scores that indicate the need for supportive care in young adults with cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2022-04-27)PURPOSE: Using patient-reported outcomes in routine cancer care may improve health outcomes. However, a lack of information about which scores are problematic in specific populations can impede use. To facilitate interpretation ... -
Adaptive magnetic resonance image guided radiation for intact localized prostate cancer how to optimally test a rapidly emerging technology.
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, 2022-09-05)INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is a common malignancy for which radiation therapy (RT) provides an excellent management option with high rates of control and low toxicity. Historically RT has been given with CT based image ... -
Efficacy and Safety of Brigatinib Compared With Crizotinib in Asian vs. Non-Asian Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic ALK-Inhibitor-Naive ALK+ Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: Final Results From the Phase III ALTA-1L Study.
(Elsevier BV, 2022-07-21)BACKGROUND: Brigatinib is a next-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor with demonstrated efficacy in locally advanced and metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in crizotinib-refractory and ALK ... -
Identification of a Molecularly-Defined Subset of Breast and Ovarian Cancer Models that Respond to WEE1 or ATR Inhibition, Overcoming PARP Inhibitor Resistance.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2022-10-14)PURPOSE: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) induce synthetic lethality in homologous recombination repair (HRR)-deficient tumors and are used to treat breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancers. Multiple PARPi resistance ... -
Implementation of Whole-Body MRI (MY-RADS) within the OPTIMUM/MUKnine multi-centre clinical trial for patients with myeloma.
(SPRINGER, 2022-07-28)BACKGROUND: Whole-body (WB) MRI, which includes diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T1-w Dixon, permits sensitive detection of marrow disease in addition to qualitative and quantitative measurements of disease and response ... -
Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumour: State of the Art.
(MDPI, 2022-07-27)An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a neoplasm composed of myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells accompanied by inflammatory cells, including lymphocytes and eosinophils. It is an ultra-rare tumor, the ... -
Overall survival indirect treatment comparison between brigatinib and alectinib for the treatment of front-line anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive non-small cell lung cancer using data from ALEX and final results from ALTA-1L.
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-07-28)BACKGROUND: Second-generation anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) alectinib and brigatinib have shown efficacy as front-line treatments for ALK-positive non-small cell lung ... -
PREDICT underestimates survival of patients with HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-07-20)The prognostic performance of PREDICT in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer (EBC) treated in the modern era with effective chemotherapy and anti-HER2 targeted therapies is unclear. Therefore, we investigated ... -
SimPLIT: Simplified Sample Preparation for Large-Scale Isobaric Tagging Proteomics.
(AMER CHEMICAL SOC, 2022-08-05)Large scale proteomic profiling of cell lines can reveal molecular signatures attributed to variable genotypes or induced perturbations, enabling proteogenomic associations and elucidation of pharmacological mechanisms of ... -
Implementing interventions to reduce antibiotic use: a qualitative study in high-prescribing practices.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-23)BACKGROUND: Trials have shown that delayed antibiotic prescriptions (DPs) and point-of-care C-Reactive Protein testing (POC-CRPT) are effective in reducing antibiotic use in general practice, but these were not typically ... -
Estimating the Effect of Healthcare-Associated Infections on Excess Length of Hospital Stay Using Inverse Probability-Weighted Survival Curves.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-12-03)BACKGROUND: Studies estimating excess length of stay (LOS) attributable to nosocomial infections have failed to address time-varying confounding, likely leading to overestimation of their impact. We present a methodology ... -
Association between intrahospital transfer and hospital-acquired infection in the elderly: a retrospective case-control study in a UK hospital network.
(BMJ, 2021-06-01)BACKGROUND: Intrahospital transfers have become more common as hospital staff balance patient needs with bed availability. However, this may leave patients more vulnerable to potential pathogen transmission routes via ... -
Public preferences for delayed or immediate antibiotic prescriptions in UK primary care: A choice experiment.
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2021-08-01)BACKGROUND: Delayed (or "backup") antibiotic prescription, where the patient is given a prescription but advised to delay initiating antibiotics, has been shown to be effective in reducing antibiotic use in primary care. ... -
Development of an intervention to support the implementation of evidence-based strategies for optimising antibiotic prescribing in general practice.
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-09-15)BACKGROUND: Trials show that antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) strategies, including communication skills training, point-of-care C-reactive protein testing (POC-CRPT) and delayed prescriptions, help optimise antibiotic ... -
Identifying local authority need for, and uptake of, school-based physical activity promotion in England-a cluster analysis.
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022-08-25)BACKGROUND: School-based physical activity interventions such as The Daily Mile (TDM) are widely promoted in children's physical activity guidance. However, targeting such interventions to areas of greatest need is challenging ... -
Dosimetric comparison of automatically propagated prostate contours with manually drawn contours in MRI-guided radiotherapy: A step towards a contouring free workflow?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2022-11-01)BACKGROUND: The prostate demonstrates inter- and intra- fractional changes and thus adaptive radiotherapy would be required to ensure optimal coverage. Daily adaptive radiotherapy for MRI-guided radiotherapy can be both ... -
