Journal Article
El Ansari, R., Craze, M. L., Miligy, I., Diez-Rodriguez, M., Nolan, C. C., Ellis, I. O., …Green, A. R. (in press). The amino acid transporter SLC7A5 confers a poor prognosis in the highly proliferative breast cancer subtypes and is a key therapeutic target in luminal B tumours. Breast Cancer Research, 20(21), https://doi.org/10.1186/s13058-018-0946-6

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease characterised by variant biology and patient outcome. The amino acid transporter, SLC7A5, plays a role in BC although its impact on patient outcome in different BC subtypes remains to be valid...

Breast cancer histologic grading using digital microscopy: concordance and outcome association (2018)
Journal Article
Rakha, E. A., Aleskandarani, M., Toss, M. S., Green, A. R., Ball, G., Ellis, I. O., & Dalton, L. W. (2018). Breast cancer histologic grading using digital microscopy: concordance and outcome association. Journal of Clinical Pathology, 71(8), 680-686. doi:10.1136/jclinpath-2017-204979

AIMS: Virtual microscopy utilising digital whole slide imaging (WSI) is increasingly used in breast pathology. Histologic grade is one of the strongest prognostic factors in breast cancer (BC). This study aims at investigating the agreement between B... Read More about Breast cancer histologic grading using digital microscopy: concordance and outcome association.

Immune infiltration in invasive lobular breast cancer (2018)
Journal Article
Desmedt, C., Salgado, R., Fornili, M., Pruneri, G., Gert Van den Eynden, G., Zoppoli, G., …Sotiriou, C. (2018). Immune infiltration in invasive lobular breast cancer. JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 110(7), 768–776. https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djx268

Background: Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer after invasive ductal cancer (IDC). Here, we aimed at evaluating the prevalence, levels and composition of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes... Read More about Immune infiltration in invasive lobular breast cancer.

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., …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., …Khoo, U. (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.
