AimsGlioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumour in adults, with a poor prognosis. Changing treatment paradigms suggest improved outcome, but whole nation data for England scarce. The aim of this report to examine incidence patients glioblastoma England, assess influence gender, age, geographical region on outcome.MethodsA search strategy encompassing all coded GBM treated from January 2007 December 2011 was obtained linkage between National Cancer...

Abstract Purpose: Patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas (HGG) are usually managed alkylating chemotherapy ± bevacizumab. However, prognosis remains very poor. Preclinically, we showed that HGGs a target for arginine depletion pegargiminase (ADI-PEG20) due to epimutations of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS1) and/or lyase (ASL). Moreover, ADI-PEG20 disrupts pyrimidine pools in ASS1-deficient HGGs, thereby impacting sensitivity the antifolate, pemetrexed. and Methods: We expanded phase I...

GSK2256098 is a novel oral focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor. Preclinical studies demonstrate growth inhibition in glioblastoma cell lines. However, rodent indicate limited blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. In this expansion cohort within phase I study, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and clinical activity of were evaluated patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Biodistribution kinetics [11C]GSK2256098 assessed substudy using positron-emission tomography (PET)....

Current treatment outcome of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. Following standard therapy, recurrence is universal limited survival. Tumors from 173 GBM are analysed for somatic mutations to generate a personalized peptide vaccine targeting tumor-specific neoantigens. All were treated within the scope an individual healing attempt. Among all vaccinated patients, including 70 prior progression (primary) and 103 after (recurrent), median overall survival first diagnosis 31.9...

ABSTRACT Background Cancer diagnostics and surgery have been disrupted by the response of healthcare services to COVID-19 pandemic. Progression cancers during delay will impact on patient long-term survival. Methods We generated per-day hazard ratios cancer progression from observational studies applied these age-specific, stage-specific survival for England 2013-2017. modelled per-patient three months six periods disruption one year two years. Using resource costing, we contextualise...

Glioblastoma (GBM) represents 80% of all primary malignant brain tumours in adults. Prognosis is poor, and there a clear correlation between disease progression deterioration functional status. In this pilot study we assess whether can estimate free survival (PFS) from routinely collected electronic healthcare data. We identified fifty patients with glioblastoma who had chemo-radiotherapy. For each patient manually reference data set recording demographics, surgery, radiotherapy,...

There is evidence that surgeons who perform more operations have better outcomes. However, in patients with brain tumours, all of the comes from USA. We examined English an intracranial neoplasm had resection 2008–2010. included performed at least six over 3 years, and one operation first last 6 months period. The analysis data set comprised 9194 operations, 163 consultant neurosurgeons 30 centres. Individual surgeon volumes varied widely (7–272; median=46). 72% were on brain, day mortality...

Abstract Background Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumour. Sarcopenia associated with worse cancer survival, but manually quantifying muscle on imaging time-consuming. We present a deep learning-based system for quantification of temporalis muscle, surrogate skeletal mass, and assess its prognostic value in glioblastoma. Methods A neural network segmentation was trained 366 MRI head images from 132 patients 4 different glioblastoma data sets used to quantify cross-sectional...

Abstract The incidence of Intracranial Metastatic Disease (IMD) continues to increase in part due improvements systemic therapy resulting durable control extra-cranial disease (ECD). Contrast-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CE-MRI) is the preferred method for imaging IMD, but has limitations particularly follow-up surveillance scans optimise patient care.

Quasi-randomization approaches estimate latent participation probabilities for units from a nonprobability / convenience sample. Estimation of allows their combination with the randomized survey sample to form weighted domain estimate. One leverages estimation under expectation that precision and bias will improve relative solely using sample; however, are very different in covariate support may inflate or variance. This paper develops method threshold exclude minimize variance resulting...
