Cancer Cachexia:Mechanisms and Clinical Implications
(Hindawi, 2011)Cachexia is amultifactorial process of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue atrophy resulting in progressive weight loss. It is associated with poor quality of life, poor physical function, and poor prognosis in cancer ... -
Changes in mitochondrial stability during the progression of the Barrett's esophagus disease sequence
(2016)Background Barrett’s esophagus follows the classic step-wise progression of metaplasia-dysplasia-adenocarcinoma. While Barrett’s esophagus is a leading known risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, the pathogenesis ... -
The Clinical Applications of Serum and Urinary Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer
(2020)At every stage of the prostate cancer journey from screening and diagnosis to management of advanced disease, patients and clinicians face dilemmas and decisions that can impact long-term outcomes. Although traditional ... -
The Clinical Applications of Tissue Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer
(2020)The clinical course of localized prostate cancer varies widely, from indolent disease unlikely to need treatment to aggressive disease requiring intensive, multimodal therapy. Traditionally, treatment decisions have been ... -
Common data items in seven European oesophagogastric cancer surgery registries: Towards a European Upper GI Cancer Audit (EURECCA Upper GI)
(2014)Aims Seven countries (Denmark, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom) collaborated to initiate a EURECCA (European Registration of Cancer Care) Upper GI project. The aim of this study was to ... -
A comparative quantitative LC-MS/MS profiling analysis of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma, adjacent-normal tissue, and patient-derived tumour xenografts
(2018)Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide; it develops in a relatively symptom-free manner, leading to rapid disease progression and metastasis, leading to a 5-year survival rate of ... -
Cooperation between chemotherapy and immunotherapy in gastroesophageal cancers
(2020)Gastroesophageal cancers (GOCs) represent some of the most common cancers globally and are linked with poor survival rates. The current standard of care includes multimodal chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. However, ... -
The cost-effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation for Barrett's esophagus with low-grade dysplasia: Results from a randomized controlled trial (SURF trial)
(2016)Background and Aims The Surveillance versus Radiofrequency Ablation (SURF) trial randomized 136 patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) containing low-grade dysplasia (LGD), to receive radiofrequency ablation (ablation, ... -
COVID-19 and Surgery: A thematic analysis of unintended consequences on performance, practice and surgical training
(2020)Purpose: The shift in the national focus and allocation of resources to the management of COVID19 has led to significant changes to surgical practice including the delay of elective surgery. The aim of this study was ... -
COX-2 protects against thrombosis of the retinal vasculature in a mouse model of proliferative retinopathy.
(Molecular Vision, 2006)Purpose: Cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) and prostaglandins regulate angiogenesis in several settings, including cancer and ischemia. In the eye, both selective inhibitors of COX-2 and nonselective COX inhibitors are ... -
COX-Derived prostanoid pathways in gastrointestinal cancer development and progression: Novel targets for prevention and intervention
(Elsevier, 2012)Arachidonic acid metabolism through cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways leads to the generation of biologically active eicosanoids. Eicosanoid expression levels vary during development and progression of gastrointestinal (GI) ... -
Day care general anaesthesia for a child with bardet-biedl syndrome.
(2010)Bardet-Biedl syndrome is a very rare autosomal-recessive disorder with pan-systemic effects. The perioperative period may be hazardous for patients with this disorder. We describe the presenting features and management of ... -
Decreased Mitochondrial DNA Mutagenesis in Human Colorectal Cancer
(2012)Genome instability is regarded as a hallmark of cancer. Human tumors frequently carry clonally expanded mutations in their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), some of which may drive cancer progression and metastasis. The high ... -
Defining a successful esophagectomy.

Dendritic cell inhibition correlates with survival of colorectal cancer patients on bevacizumab treatment.
(2012)we demonstrated that dendritic cell (DC) inhibition by tumor-conditioned media in the presence or absence of bevacizumab correlates with colorectal cancer patient survival. Monitoring the influence of the tumor ...
