The significance of tumour microarchitectural features in breast cancer prognosis: a digital image analysis (2018)
Journal Article
Roxanis, I., Colling, R., Kartsonaki, C., Green, A., & Rakha, E. (2018). The significance of tumour microarchitectural features in breast cancer prognosis: a digital image analysis. Breast Cancer Research, 20(11), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13058-018-0934-x

BACKGROUND: As only a minor portion of the information present in histological sections is accessible by eye, recognition and quantification of complex patterns and relationships among constituents relies on digital image analysis. In this study, our... Read More about The significance of tumour microarchitectural features in breast cancer prognosis: a digital image analysis.

Targeting ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3 related kinase (ATR) in PTEN deficient breast cancers for personalized therapy (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Subhi, N., Ali, R., Abdel-Fatah, T., Moseley, P. M., Chan, S. Y., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., Rakha, E., & Madhusudan, S. (2018). Targeting ataxia telangiectasia mutated and Rad3 related kinase (ATR) in PTEN deficient breast cancers for personalized therapy. Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 169(2), 277–286. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-018-4683-4

Purpose: PTEN, a negative regulator of PI3K signaling, is involved in DNA repair. ATR is a key sensor of DNA damage and replication stress. We evaluated whether ATR signaling has clinical significance and could be targeted by synthetic lethality in P...

BQ323636.1, a novel splice variant to NCOR2, as a predictor for tamoxifen resistant breast cancer (2018)
Journal Article
Gong, C., Man, E. P., Tsoi, H., Lee, T. K., Paul, L., Mak, S.-T., Wong, L.-S., Luk, M.-Y., Rakha, E. A., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., Lam, E. W., Cheung, K.-L., & Khoo, U.-S. (2018). BQ323636.1, a novel splice variant to NCOR2, as a predictor for tamoxifen resistant breast cancer. Clinical Cancer Research, 24(15), 3681-3691. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-17-2259

Purpose: Adjuvant tamoxifen treatment revolutionized the management of estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancers to prevent cancer recurrence; however drug resistance compromises its clinical efficacy. The mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resista... Read More about BQ323636.1, a novel splice variant to NCOR2, as a predictor for tamoxifen resistant breast cancer.

High nuclear MSK1 is associated with longer survival in breast cancer patients (2018)
Journal Article
Pu, X., Storr, S. J., Ahmad, N., Rakha, E., Green, A. R., Ellis, I. O., & Martin, S. G. (2018). High nuclear MSK1 is associated with longer survival in breast cancer patients. Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology, 144(3), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00432-018-2579-7

Purpose: Mitogen- and stress- activated kinases (MSKs) are important substrates of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-activated protein kinase family. MSK1 and MSK2 are both nuclear serine/threonine protein kinases, with MSK1 being suggested... Read More about High nuclear MSK1 is associated with longer survival in breast cancer patients.
