Background

PREDICT (http://www.predict.nhs.uk) is a prognostication and treatment benefit tool for early breast cancer (EBC). The aim of this study was to incorporate the prognostic effect of KI67 status in a new version (v3), and compare performa...

ATM-Chk2 network is critical for genomic stability, and its deregulation may influence breast cancer pathogenesis. We investigated ATM and Chk2 protein levels in two cohorts [cohort 1 (n = 1650) and cohort 2 (n = 252)]. ATM and Chk2 mRNA expression w...

Molecular Oncology, 9(3), 569-585. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molonc.2014.10.013

ATR‐CHEK1 signalling is critical for genomic stability. ATR‐CHEK1 signalling may be deregulated in breast cancer and have prognostic, predictive and therapeutic significance. We investigated ATR, CHEK1 and phosphorylated CHEK1 Ser345 protein (pCHEK1)...

Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 148(2), 455-462. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10549-014-3119-z

The goal of targeted cancer therapies is to specifically block oncogenic signalling, thus maximising efficacy, while reducing side-effects to patients. The gamma-secretase (GS) complex is an attractive therapeutic target in haematological malignancie...

BRCA1, a key factor in homologous recombination (HR) repair may also regulate base excision repair (BER). Targeting BRCA1‐BER deficient cells by blockade of ATM and DNA‐PKcs could be a promising strategy in breast cancer. We investigated BRCA1, XRCC1...
