- Imaging assessment of prostate cancer recurrence: advances in detection of local and systemic relapse 10/09/2024Prostate cancer (PCa) relapse, defined either by persistent PSA levels (after RP) or biochemical recurrence (BCR), is a common occurrence. The imaging evaluation of patients experiencing PCa relapse has undergone significant advancements in the past decade, notably with the introduction of new Positron Emission Tomography (PET) tracers such as Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), and the […]Valdair Francisco Muglia
- Transcriptome- and proteome-wide association studies identify genes associated with renal cell carcinoma 13/08/2024We performed a series of integrative analyses including transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) and proteome-wide association studies (PWASs) of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to nominate and prioritize molecular targets for laboratory investigation. On the basis of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 29,020 affected individuals and 835,670 control individuals and prediction models trained in transcriptomic reference […]Diptavo Dutta
- Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of kidney cancer identifies 63 susceptibility regions 26/04/2024Here, in a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis of kidney cancer (29,020 cases and 835,670 controls), we identified 63 susceptibility regions (50 novel) containing 108 independent risk loci. In analyses stratified by subtype, 52 regions (78 loci) were associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 6 regions (7 loci) with papillary RCC. Notably, […]Mark P Purdue
- Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus active surveillance in patients with resected or ablated high-risk hepatocellular carcinoma (IMbrave050): a randomised, open-label, multicentre, phase 3 trial 23/10/2023BACKGROUND: No adjuvant treatment has been established for patients who remain at high risk for hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after curative-intent resection or ablation. We aimed to assess the efficacy of adjuvant atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus active surveillance in patients with high-risk hepatocellular carcinoma.Shukui Qin
- Genomic epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in large university hospital cohort: the UnCoVER-Brazil project 20/07/2023This work aimed to study the role of different SARS-CoV-2 lineages in the epidemiology of multiple waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo state), with comparison within Brazil and globally. Viral genomic sequencing was combined with clinical and sociodemographic information of 2,379 subjects at a large Brazilian hospital. On the whole 2,395 […]Felipe Santos de Carvalho
