Mathematical modelling and deep learning algorithms to automate assessment of single and digitally multiplexed immunohistochemical stains in tumoural stroma (2023)
Journal Article

Whilst automated analysis of immunostains in pathology research has focused predominantly on the epithelial compartment, automated analysis of stains in the stromal compartment is challenging and therefore requires time-consuming pathological input a...

Weakly Supervised Segmentation with Point Annotations for Histopathology Images via Contrast-Based Variational Model (2023)
Conference Proceeding

Image segmentation is a fundamental task in the field of imaging and vision. Supervised deep learning for segmentation has achieved unparalleled success when sufficient training data with annotated labels are available. However, annotation is known t...

Associations between AI-Assisted Tumor Amphiregulin and Epiregulin IHC and Outcomes from Anti-EGFR Therapy in the Routine Management of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (2023)
Journal Article

Purpose: High tumor production of the EGFR ligands, amphiregulin (AREG) and epiregulin (EREG), predicted benefit from anti-EGFR therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in a retrospective analysis of clinical trial data. Here, AREG/EREG IHC wa...

Anti-miR-135/SPOCK1 axis antagonizes the influence of metabolism on drug response in intestinal/colon tumour organoids (2022)
Journal Article

Little is known about the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in rewiring the metabolism within tumours and adjacent non-tumour bearing normal tissue and their potential in cancer therapy. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between deregulated m...

High tissue inhibitor of matrix-metalloproteinase 2 expression correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer (2020)
Conference Proceeding

Background & objectives TIMP2, tissue inhibitor of matrix-metalloproteinase 2, inhibits the matrix-metalloproteinase, MMP2, but may activate pro-MMP2. Hence its correlation with prognosis in breast cancer (BC) is contradictory. This study investigat...

Repurposing Antibacterial AM404 as a Potential Anticancer Drug for Targeting Colorectal Cancer Stem-Like Cells (2019)
Journal Article

Tumour-promoting inflammation is involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and therapeutic resistance. However, the antibiotics and antibacterial drugs and signalling that regulate the potency of anticancer treatment upon forced differentiation...

Presence of Vascular Invasion in Colorectal Cancer Correlates with TNM8 Nodal Status Classification (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Purpose of the study: Vascular invasion (VI) is an important prognostic marker in several malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC). The correlation between the VI status and the revised nodal stage of CRC as per TNM8, was investigated in this s...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae-like 1 (SEC14L1) is a prognostic factor in breast cancer associated with lymphovascular invasion (2018)
Journal Article

Lymphovascular invasion is strongly related to breast cancer metastasis. However, the underlying mechanisms of lymphovascular invasion and its driver molecules in breast cancer remain to be defined. In this study, we explore differential expression o... Read More about Saccharomyces cerevisiae-like 1 (SEC14L1) is a prognostic factor in breast cancer associated with lymphovascular invasion.

Mediator complex (MED) 7: a biomarker associated with good prognosis in invasive breast cancer, especially ER+ luminal subtypes (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Mediator complex (MED) proteins have a key role in transcriptional regulation, some interacting with the oestrogen receptor (ER). Interrogation of the METABRIC cohort suggested that MED7 may regulate lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Thus ME... Read More about Mediator complex (MED) 7: a biomarker associated with good prognosis in invasive breast cancer, especially ER+ luminal subtypes.

Associations between genomic stratification of breast cancer and centrally reviewed tumour pathology in the METABRIC cohort (2018)
Journal Article

The integration of genomic and transcriptomic profiles of 2000 breast tumours from the METABRIC [Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium] cohort revealed ten subtypes, termed integrative clusters (IntClust/s), characterised by di...

Rho-GTPase activating-protein 18: A biomarker associated with good prognosis in invasive breast cancer (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Cancer Research UK. All rights reserved. Background:The prognostic value of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in breast cancer (BC) has been demonstrated in several independent studies. However, identification of driver molecules for LVI remains a... Read More about Rho-GTPase activating-protein 18: A biomarker associated with good prognosis in invasive breast cancer.

HER2 challenge contest: a detailed assessment of automated HER2 scoring algorithms in whole slide images of breast cancer tissues (2017)
Journal Article

Aims Evaluating expression of the Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) by visual examination of immunohistochemistry (IHC) on invasive breast cancer (BCa) is a key part of the diagnostic assessment of BCa due to its recognised importanc...

Elevated expression of STK3 mRNA and protein is associated with poor outcome in invasive breast cancer (2017)
Conference Proceeding

Purpose of the study: The mammalian sterile 20-like kinase (MST2/STK3) and its close homologue MST1(STK4) are members of the germinal centre kinase group II (GCK II) family of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). High STK3 expression is known to... Read More about Elevated expression of STK3 mRNA and protein is associated with poor outcome in invasive breast cancer.
