Genome wide investigation of papillary thyroid carcinoma
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2005)In recent years, there has been a technological explosion in the fields of molecular pathology and molecular oncology. The genome, transcriptome and increasingly the proteome of diverse tumours can now be analysed in minute ... -
Gleason score and lethal prostate cancer: does 3 + 4 = 4 + 3?
(2009)PURPOSE Gleason grading is an important predictor of prostate cancer (PCa) outcomes. Studies using surrogate PCa end points suggest outcomes for Gleason score (GS) 7 cancers vary according to the predominance of pattern ... -
Hands-free sample preparation platform for nucleic acid analysis.
(2009)A Lab-On-Chip system with an instrument is presented which is capable of performing total sample preparation and automated extraction of nucleic acid from human cell samples fixed in a methanol based solution. The target ... -
The HIF-1alpha C1772T polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to clinically localised prostate cancer but not with elevated expression of hypoxic biomarkers.
(2009)We investigated the role of the C1772T polymorphisms in exon 12 of the Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) gene C1772T genotype in prostate cancer (PCa) and amplification of the hypoxic response. We identified ... -
HPV mRNA and p16[ink4a] / Ki-67 detection for improved diagnosis and management of cervical neoplasia in smokers
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2012)Persistent infection with high risk human papillomavirus (HR HPV) is the main etiological agent in the development of cervical cancer. The use of HPV DNA testing in cervical screening programs is becoming increasingly ... -
Human papillomavirus detection and genotyping, by HC2, Full-Spectrum HPV and Molecular Beacon Real-Time HPV assay in an Irish colposcopy clinic
(2014)Cervical screening programmes are moving towards HPV testing as part of the screening process and as a triage for colposcopy. Three HPV detection methods were evaluated using cervical cytology specimens from colposcopy ... -
Human papillomavirus prevalence in the Irish cervical screening population and a specific group of HIV positive women
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2011)Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the major aetiological agent in the development of cervical pre-cancer and cancer with high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types 16 and 18 detected in greater than 70% of squamous cell carcinomas of the ... -
Identification of novel biomarkers in recurrent / chemoresistant ovarian cancer
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2009)The aim of this study was to identify novel biomarkers in recurrent/chemoresistant ovarian cancer, yet an incurable disease. Using cDNA microarrays, we identified distinct patterns of gene expression between primary and ... -
Identification, isolation and validation of ovarian cancer stem cells
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2013)Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a late stage. Even so, it often responds (~73 %) to first-line therapies. However, the five year survival rate for late stage ovarian cancer is poor (~27 %). It is hypothesised that ... -
Identifying novel hypoxia-associated markers of chemoresistance in ovarian cancer
(2015)Background: Ovarian cancer is associated with poor long-term survival due to late diagnosis and development of chemoresistance. Tumour hypoxia is associated with many features of tumour aggressiveness including increased ... -
"If you can't treat HPV, why test for it?" Women's attitudes to the changing face of cervical cancer prevention: A focus group study
(2014)Open Access Research article “If you can’t treat HPV, why test for it?” Women’s attitudes to the changing face of cervical cancer prevention: a focus group study Judith McRae1*, Cara Martin2, John O’Leary3, Linda Sharp1 ... -
In vitro Development of Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapy Drug-Resistant Cancer Cell Lines: A Practical Guide with Case Studies.
(2014)The development of a drug-resistant cell line can take from 3 to 18 months. However, little is published on the methodology of this development process. This article will discuss key decisions to be made prior to starting ... -
An integrated analysis of the SOX2 microRNA response program in human pluripotent and nullipotent stem cell lines.
(2014)BACKGROUND: SOX2 is a core component of the transcriptional network responsible for maintaining embryonal carcinoma cells (ECCs) in a pluripotent, undifferentiated state of self-renewal. As such, SOX2 is an oncogenic ... -
Investigation of autoantibody profiling to reveal biomarkers of ovarian cancer
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2013)Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynaecological malignancy and 70% of all women with ovarian cancer die within 5 years of diagnosis. When diagnosed in early stages, ovarian cancer is curable in 90% of cases, however early ... -
Investigation of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma in young adults
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2006)While oral and pharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is classically a disease of older male smokers, this tumour type can occur in young patients with minimal or no exposure to the traditional risk factors. The prognosis ... -
MicroRNA profiling in prostate cancer and prostate derived holoclone cell model
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). School of Medicine. Discipline of Histopathology & Morbid Anatomy, 2012)Prostate cancer is a heterogeneous disease and is the most commonly diagnosed malignant tumour and the second most common cause of cancer deaths in western males. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in ... -
MicroRNA-17 is downregulated in esophageal adenocarcinoma cancer stem-like cells and promotes a radioresistant phenotype
(2017)Resistance to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) remains a critical barrier to the effective treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are a distinct subpopulation of cells implicated ...
