BACKGROUND: Metabolomic characterization of tumours can potentially improve prediction of cancer prognosis and treatment response. Here, we describe efforts to validate previous metabolomic findings using a historical cohort of breast cancer patients and discuss challenges with u...
PURPOSE: Detecting signals of micrometastatic disease in early breast cancer (EBC) patients could improve risk stratification and allow better tailoring of adjuvant therapies. We have previously shown that postoperative serum metabolomic profiles are predictive of relapse in a si...
Activating PIK3CA mutations, present in up to 40% of hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (Her2-) breast cancer (BC) patients, can be effectively targeted with the alpha isoform-specific PI3K inhibitor Alpelisib. This treatment significantly improves ...
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Metabolic abnormalities are one of the hallmarks of pancreatic cancer, and pancreatic cancer cells can adapt to biosynthesis, energy intake and redox needs through metabolic reprogramming to tolerate nutrient deficiency and hypoxic ...
