Phase 1/2 trial evaluating the effectiveness and safety of dose-adapted Hypofractionated pelvic radiotherapy for Advanced Cervical cancers INeligible for ChemoTherapy (HYACINCT).

Background: The standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) is concurrent chemoradiation (CRT) followed by brachytherapy (BRT). The addition of chemotherapy (ChT) to radiotherapy (RT) is associated with a 7.5% improvement in overall survival but with more grade 3-4 acute toxicities (16.

The isomiR-140-3p-regulated mevalonic acid pathway as a potential target for prevention of triple negative breast cancer.

Background: Prevention of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is hampered by lack of knowledge about the drivers of tumorigenesis.

Methods: To identify molecular markers and their downstream networks that can potentially be targeted for TNBC prevention, we analyzed small RNA and RNA sequencing of a cell line model that represent early stages of TNBC development. We have identified direct gene targets of isomiRNA-140-3p and by using cell-based and in vivo model systems we have demonstrated the utility of targeting downstream pathways for prevention of TNBC.
