Purpose: The yield of comprehensive genomic profiling in recruiting patients to molecular-based trials designed for small subgroups has not been fully evaluated. We evaluated the likelihood of enrollment in a clinical trial that required the identification of a specific genomic change based on our institute-wide genomic tumor profiling.

Patients And Methods: Using genomic profiling from archived tissue samples derived from patients with metastatic breast cancer treated between 2011 and 2017, we assessed the impact of systematic genomic characterization on enrollment in an ongoing phase II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01670877). Our primary aim was to describe the proportion of patients with a qualifying mutation identified by our institutional genomic panel (OncoMap or OncoPanel) who enrolled in the trial. Secondary objectives included median time from testing result to trial registration, description of the spectrum of mutations, and survival. Associations were calculated using Fisher's exact test.

Results: We identified a total of 1,045 patients with metastatic breast cancer without amplification who had available genomic testing results. Of these, 42 patients were found to have mutation and 19 patients (1.8%) were eligible for the trial on the basis of the presence of an activating mutation, 18 of which were identified by OncoPanel testing. Fifty-eight percent of potentially eligible patients were approached, and 33.3% of eligible patients enrolled in the trial guided exclusively by OncoPanel testing.

Conclusion: More than one half of eligible patients were approached for trial participation and, significantly, one third of those were enrolled in NCT01670877. Our data illustrate the ability to enroll patients in trials of rare subsets in routine clinical practice and highlight the need for these broadly based approaches to effectively support the success of these studies.

Improvements in the laser-scribed graphene (LSG)-based electrodes are critical to overcoming limitations of bare LSG electrodes in terms of sensitivity, direct immobilization of detection probes for biosensor fabrication, and ease of integration with point-of-care (POC) devices. Herein, we introduce a new class of nanostructured gold modified LSG (LSG-AuNS) electrochemical sensing system comprising LSG-AuNS working electrode, LSG reference, and LSG counter electrode. LSG-AuNS electrodes are realized by electrodeposition of gold chloride (HAuCl) solution, which gave~2-fold enhancement in sensitivity and electrocatalytic activity compared to bare LSG electrode and commercially available screen-printed gold electrode (SPAuE).

Objective: Radioiodine (Iodine-131, I) ablation is a standard treatment for differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) after thyroidectomy. Hepatotoxicity is a rare side effect of I, and little information is available on the hepatotoxicity of I ablation for post-surgical DTC patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 94 post-surgical DTC patients between November 2012 and August 2015 in our hospital. Read More

Background: Extensive research over the past several decades, explored that the natural compounds contain different plant secondary metabolites and have the potential to inhibit breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).

Purpose: To identify crucial molecular fingerprints of some natural products for the inhibition of breast cancer resistance protein and also to screen out some potent natural BCRP inhibitors.

Study Design: Multiple modelling strategies were applied with three main mottos: (a) Generation of robust classification models to identify the linear and non-linear relationships among the natural compounds and the inhibition of BCRP, (b) Identification of important structural fingerprints that modulate BCRP inhibition and screening of natural database to find the probable hit molecules, (c) Comprehensive ligand-receptor interactions analysis of those against the putative breast cancer resistant protein through molecular docking analysis.

Breast cancer incidence is rising in low-income countries, but there is limited information regarding health resource allocation for its care. We assessed the cost of care during the first three years after diagnosis in a low-income country (Mozambique; n = 162 women) and compared it with a high-income country (Portugal, n = 703 women). Local currency prices were converted to 2019 international dollars (Int$). Read More

Colorectal cancer (CRC), and breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers are generally considered as low immune-reactive cancers that represent either limited infiltration of immune cells or extensive infiltration of immunosuppressive T cells. Interaction between programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) with programmed death-1 receptor (PD-1) is important for immune evasion. Tumors positive for PD-L1 generally show higher responses to the immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI); however, the high presence of PD-L1 in a tumor is a predictor of poor prognosis. Read More
