Smartphone-Based Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid: An Innovative Tool to Improve Cervical Cancer Screening in Low-Resource Setting

Visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) is recommended by theWorld Health Organization for primary cervical cancer screening or triage of human papillomavirus-positive women living in low-resource settings. Nonetheless, traditional VIA with the naked-eye ...

A meta-learning approach for genomic survival analysis

Arnout Jan J Devos

RNA sequencing has emerged as a promising approach in cancer prognosis as sequencing data becomes more easily and affordably accessible. However, it remains challenging to build good predictive models especially when the sample size is limited and the numb ...

Synaptic proximity enables NMDAR signalling to promote brain metastasis

Graham Knott, Douglas Hanahan, Brian Donal McCabe, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Inti Zlobec, Iacovos Michael, Qiqun Zeng, Wei Jiao, Giovanni Ciriello, Peng Zhang

Metastasis-the disseminated growth of tumours in distant organs-underlies cancer mortality. Breast-to-brain metastasis (B2BM) is a common and disruptive form of cancer and is prevalent in the aggressive basal-like subtype, but is also found at varying freq ...

Progestins used for hormonal contraception in Switzerland: study of their effects on the breast epithelium

Marie Shamseddin

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the most common cause of cancer death among women. Hormones have been shown to have a key role in breast development and carcinogenesis. Repeated activation of progesterone receptor (PR) signaling as ...

Functionalized bismuth ferrite harmonic nanoparticles for cancer cells labelling and imaging

Sandrine Gerber, Solène Marcelle Françoise Marie Passemard, Luigi Bonacina, Giona Sonego

Bismuth ferrite (BFO) harmonic nanoparticles (NPs) display high nonlinear optical efficiency and excellent biocompatibility profile which make them attractive for the development of diagnostic applications as contrast agents. In this study, we present a ge ...

GLUT3 is induced during epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promotes tumor cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Bart Deplancke, Natasha Ella Samson, Etienne Meylan, Petra Catalina Schwalie, Svenja Johanna Groeneveld, Jessica Christine Vazquez, Mark Jonathan Masin

Alterations in glucose metabolism and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) constitute two important characteristics of carcinoma progression toward invasive cancer. Despite an extensive characterization of each of them separately, the links between EMT ...

In vivo autofluorescence spectroscopy of human bronchial tissue to optimize the detection and imaging of early cancers

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger

We are developing an imaging system to detect pre-/early cancers in the tracheo-bronchial tree. Autofluorescence might be useful but many features remain suboptimal. We have studied the autofluorescence of human healthy, metaplastic and dysplastic/CIS bron ...

Clinical photodynamic therapy for superficial cancer in the esophagus and the bronchi: 514 nm compared with 630 nm light irradiation after sensitization with Photofrin II

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for cancer in the esophagus and bronchi with red (630 nm) light may occasionally lead to wall perforation and fistula. Therefore, the clin. use of a less penetrating wavelength (514 nm) was investigated for the curative treatment ...

Clinical value of fluorescence cystoscopy in the detection of superficial transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières

The prognosis of superficial bladder cancer in terms of local recurrence and transformation into invasive cancer is related to the multiplicity of tumor sites and the concomitant presence of "flat" tumours, such as dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. This stu ...
