The small-nucleolar RNAs commonly used for microRNA normalisation correlate with tumour pathology and prognosis
Background:To investigate small-nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) as reference genes when measuring miRNA expression in tumour samples, given emerging evidence for their role in cancer.Methods:Four snoRNAs,… Expand

Imaging tumour hypoxia with positron emission tomography
Hypoxia, a hallmark of most solid tumours, is a negative prognostic factor due to its association with an aggressive tumour phenotype and therapeutic resistance. Given its prominent role in oncology,… Expand

The independence of intrinsic radiosensitivity as a prognostic factor for patient response to radiotherapy of carcinoma of the cervix.
A study was made of the prognostic value of pretreatment measurements of tumour radiosensitivity (surviving fraction at 2 Gy, SF2) in 128 patients with stage I-III carcinomas of the uterine cervix… Expand

Genetics and genomics of radiotherapy toxicity: towards prediction
Radiotherapy is involved in many curative treatments of cancer; millions of survivors live with the consequences of treatment, and toxicity in a minority limits the radiation doses that can be safely… Expand

A high ratio of apoptosis to proliferation correlates with improved survival after radiotherapy for cervical adenocarcinoma.
PURPOSE A retrospective study was made of the role of apoptosis in determining radiotherapy outcome in 39 adenocarcinoma of the cervix. A comparison was also made of the detection of apoptosis by… Expand

High tumor angiogenesis is associated with poorer survival in carcinoma of the cervix treated with radiotherapy.
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between tumor angiogenesis and prognosis in carcinoma of the cervix treated with radiotherapy with a median follow-up time of 55 months. A… Expand

Tumour oxygenation levels correlate with dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging parameters in carcinoma of the cervix.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Eppendorf pO(2) histograph is the 'gold standard' method for measuring tumour oxygenation. The method is not suitable for widespread application because its use is limited… Expand
