The guideline is presented as a detailed review with highlighted recommendations for practical use in the clinic by dermatologists and other healthcare professionals, including general practitioners, clinical geneticists, paediatricians, ophthalmologists, craniomaxillofacial surgeons, neurologists, cardiologists psychologists. does not cover therapeutic (nondermatological) symptoms, mainly focuses on screening follow-up of symptoms. Therapeutic basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) have been...
The Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) has been shown to be applicable endometrioid ovarian cancer (ENOC), classifying tumors into four molecular subgroups: POLE mutated (POLEmut), mismatch repair deficient (MMRd), p53 abnormal (p53abn), and no specific profile (NSMP). However, the large NSMP subgroup in ENOC limits its clinical applicability. Incorporating estrogen receptor (ER) status improved prognostic accuracy endometrial cancer. Therefore, this study...
We introduce a novel per-gene measure of intra-gene DNA methylation variability (IGV) based on the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 platform, which is prognostic independently well-known predictors clinical outcome. Using IGV, we derive robust gene-panel signature for ovarian cancer (OC, n = 221), validates in two independent data sets from Mayo Clinic (n 198) and TCGA 358), with significance p 0.004 both sets. The OC comprised four gene groups, represent distinct biological processes....
Ovarian cancer has the worst overall survival rate of all gynecologic malignancies. For majority patients, 5-year less than 50% hardly improved over last decades. To improve outcome patients with subtypes ovarian cancer, large-scale fundamental and translational research is needed. accommodate these types research, we have established a Dutch nationwide, interdisciplinary infrastructure biobank: Archipelago Cancer Research (AOCR). The AOCR will facilitate enhance interdisciplinary, national,...
Fundamental and translational research in ovarian cancer aims to enhance understanding of disease mechanisms improve treatment survival outcomes. To support this, we established the Dutch multicenter, interdisciplinary Archipelago Ovarian Cancer Research (AOCR) infrastructure, which includes a nationwide biobank. In this study, share our experiences establishing offer guidance for similar initiatives, evaluate AOCR patient cohort. Key challenges included obtaining Data Protection Impact...
<div>Abstract<p>The presence of regulatory T cells (Treg) in solid tumors is known to play a role patient survival ovarian cancer and other malignancies. We assessed inherited genetic variations via 749 tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) 25 Treg-associated genes (<i>CD28</i>, <i>CTLA4</i>, <i>FOXP3</i>, <i>IDO1</i>, <i>IL10</i>, <i>IL10RA</i>, <i>IL15</i>, <i>1L17RA</i>,...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Skeletal muscle depletion in women with advanced ovarian cancer has been associated adverse clinical outcome and survival. To validate earlier results a homogenous population, we analyzed whether decrease skeletal index (SMI) during neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is worse patients stage III epithelial cancer, who were included the OVHIPEC trial. <h3>Methodology</h3> Within phase trial, 245 randomized after three cycles of NACT carboplatin paclitaxel to...
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> In the previous decades, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) has been introduced as alternative to abdominal (ARH) in early-stage cervical cancer. 2018, results from first prospective randomised study (the 'LACC' trial) were published, reporting inferior survival patients treated with LRH. Therefore, we aimed evaluate outcomes for ARH and LRH cancer, Netherlands. <h3>Methodology</h3> this retrospective study, diagnosed between 2010 2017 cancer FIGO (2009)...
