Bromodomain and extra-terminal inhibitors-A consensus prioritisation after the Paediatric Strategy Forum for medicinal product development of epigenetic modifiers in children-ACCELERATE.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2021-02-16)Based on biology and pre-clinical data, bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors have at least three potential roles in paediatric malignancies: NUT (nuclear protein in testis) carcinomas, MYC/MYCN-driven cancers and ... -
Avapritinib Versus Regorafenib in Locally Advanced Unresectable or Metastatic GI Stromal Tumor: A Randomized, Open-Label Phase III Study.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2021-10-01)PURPOSE: Primary or secondary mutations in KIT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) underlie tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance in most GI stromal tumors (GISTs). Avapritinib selectively and potently ... -
Relationship Between Baseline Rectal Tumor Length and Magnetic Resonance Tumor Regression Grade Response to Chemoradiotherapy: A Subanalysis of the TRIGGER Feasibility Study.
(SPRINGER, 2022-06-30)BACKGROUND: It is widely believed that small rectal tumors are more likely to have a good response to neoadjuvant treatment, which may influence the selection of patients for a 'watch and wait' strategy. OBJECTIVE: The aim ... -
Mini-mesohepatectomy for tumours at the hepatocaval confluence: A cases series and review of the literature.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-06-30)Liver lesions located adjacent to the middle hepatic vein (MHV) at the hepatocaval confluence are rare. Mini-mesohepatectomy (MMH) allows resection of these lesions with preservation of liver parenchymal volume thus reducing ... -
Age-related differences of oncological outcomes in primary extremity soft tissue sarcoma: a multistate model including 6260 patients.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020-12-01)PURPOSE: No studies extensively compared the young adults (YA, 18-39 years), middle-aged (40-69 years), and elderly (≥70 years) population with primary high-grade extremity soft tissue sarcoma (eSTS). This study aimed to ... -
A model selection framework to quantify microvascular liver function in gadoxetate-enhanced MRI: Application to healthy liver, diseased tissue, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
(WILEY, 2021-05-11)PURPOSE: We introduce a novel, generalized tracer kinetic model selection framework to quantify microvascular characteristics of liver and tumor tissue in gadoxetate-enhanced dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). METHODS: ... -
Subgroup analyses in randomized controlled trials frequently categorized continuous subgroup information.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-07-02)BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To investigate how subgroup analyses of published Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) are performed when subgroups are created from continuous variables. METHODS: We carried out a review of RCTs ... -
Dietary omega 6/3 fats and aspirin govern PI3Ka-induced oncogenicity
Oncogenic mutations in PI3KCA, the gene encoding the p110a catalytic subunit of PI3K, represent one of the most frequent genetic alterations in human cancer. Although multiple inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway have ... -

QUARTET: A SIOP Europe project for quality and excellence in radiotherapy and imaging for children and adolescents with cancer.
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2022-09-01)The European Society for Paediatric Oncology (SIOPE) Radiation Oncology Working Group presents the QUARTET Project: a centralised quality assurance programme designed to standardise care and improve the quality of radiotherapy ... -
Questions to guide cancer evolution as a framework for furthering progress in cancer research and sustainable patient outcomes.
(HUMANA PRESS INC, 2022-07-04)We appear to be faced with 'two truths' in cancer-one of major advances and successes and another one of remaining short-comings and significant challenges. Despite decades of research and substantial progress in treating ... -
Weekly dose-dense chemotherapy in first-line epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer treatment (ICON8): overall survival results from an open-label, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial.
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2022-07-01)BACKGROUND: Standard-of-care first-line chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer is carboplatin and paclitaxel administered once every 3 weeks. The JGOG 3016 trial reported significant improvement in progression-free and ... -
WASp modulates RPA function on single-stranded DNA in response to replication stress and DNA damage.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-29)Perturbation in the replication-stress response (RSR) and DNA-damage response (DDR) causes genomic instability. Genomic instability occurs in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), a primary immunodeficiency disorder, yet the ... -
Immunotherapy of sarcomas with modified T cells.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2022-07-01)PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize the development of modified T-cell therapies in sarcomas and discuss relevant published and ongoing clinical trials to date. RECENT FINDINGS: Numerous clinical trials are underway evaluating ... -
ESMO recommendations on the use of circulating tumour DNA assays for patients with cancer: a report from the ESMO Precision Medicine Working Group.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-08-01)Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) assays conducted on plasma are rapidly developing a strong evidence base for use in patients with cancer. The European Society for Medical Oncology convened an expert working group to review ... -
Deciphering associations between three RNA splicing-related genetic variants and lung cancer risk.
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2022-06-30)Limited efforts have been made in assessing the effect of genome-wide profiling of RNA splicing-related variation on lung cancer risk. In the present study, we first identified RNA splicing-related genetic variants linked ... -
Crizotinib-Resistant ROS1 G2101A Mutation Associated With Sensitivity to Lorlatinib in ROS1-Rearranged NSCLC: Case Report.
(ELSEVIER, 2022-09-01)gene rearrangements occur in 1% to 2% of NSCLC. Acquired "on-target" mutations within the ROS1 kinase domain are a known resistance mechanism to the first-line ROS1 inhibitor crizotinib. Here, we report the first case of ... -
