Abstract
BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to investigate the application of a constant infusion (CI) to mitigate the issue of constantly changing Gd-DTPA contrast levels in a bolus injection for extracellular volume (ECV) measurements by (a) comparing a CI alone to a bolus alone and a bolus followed by CI in healthy myocardium, (b) evaluating the impact of glucose suppression using heparin on ECV. METHODS Five healthy canine subjects were imaged to compare three different protocols for injecting Gd-DTPA and FDG: bolus alone, CI alone, bolus followed by CI. Suppression of myocardial glucose uptake was induced using a continuous infusion of 20% lipid at a rate of 0.25 mL·min-1·kg-1 as well as 2000 units of intravenous heparin injected 20 minutes prior to FDG/Gd-DTPA injection. RESULTS There was no significant effect on ECV measurement when heparin was used for glucose suppression at equilibrium irrespective of infusion protocol). Measurements of ECV in myocardium, regardless of infusion protocol showed no significant difference at all time points (P = 0.21) prior to washout. CONCLUSIONS The suppression of myocardial uptake of [18F]FDG with heparin did not alter the determination of myocardial ECV though a larger sample size may show differences. Further, the infusion protocol (bolus or constant infusion) had no effect on the calculated ECV.

Abstract
In the few years leading up to this research, CLEAPSS noticed a small but steadily increasing number of calls from UK schools regarding a red-brown discolouration on the surface of the foil of their radium source. There were no reports of this type of discolouration on foils of other radionuclides. CLEAPSS and the University of Liverpool collaborated to investigate the nature and cause of this discolouration and the likelihood that the foils were becoming unsafe. The evidence indicates that the discolouration is principally caused by some combination of silicon, sulfur and possibly lead from within the foil diffusing into the face layer. There is no indication currently that the face layers are fragmenting on these foils, but the longer-term integrity of the discoloured foils now becomes questionable. Given the age of the foils and the radiotoxicity of radium, the recommendation from this research is that discoloured foils should be taken out of service and disposed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
While there have been prior studies showing an association between activity and outcomes, there have been no studies examining the temporal relationship between device-derived daily activity, a novel digital biomarker, and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VT).
Purpose
In a big dataset with over 55,000 pacemaker, ICD, and CRT devices, we aimed to identify whether changes in activity predict VT, or else VT predict changes in activity.
Methods
The CERTITUDE registry comprises a de-identified database of over 55,000 U.S. BIOTRONIK pacemaker, ICD, CRT devices, and loop recorders active on Home Monitoring®. Daily data on leads, arrhythmias, and physiological parameters such as activity are captured. Patient activity is reported daily as percentage active during the day, assessed by a one-axis accelerometer at ∼0.4 Hz frequency. Analysis to ascertain temporal changes in device-derived activity associated with treated VT was performed using the first event per device and 7-day activity windows (baseline, pre- and post-event). Baseline period was defined as 31–38 days prior to VT. VT events were categorized by heart rate (≤200 bpm,>200 bpm) and treatment (shock with or without ATP, ATP alone). Differences in activity between baseline, and pre- and post-VT were analyzed using the binomial proportion test.
Results
A total of 16,475 devices (9732 ICDs, 6743 CRT-Ds) had activity data available for analysis. The cumulative follow-up duration was 18,355 years (5.6 million days with transmission). Of the 2636 VT events analyzed, 1409 had a heart rate >200 bpm, and 593 were treated with shock. Patients with VT events >200 bpm treated with shock had a significant reduction in activity post-VT with a median −8.7% reduction (IQR −24.6%; 7.3%, p<0.001). However, there was no reduction in activity before the VT>200 bpm (p=0.690) (Figure). VT events >200 bpm treated with ATP alone were not associated with reduction in activity before or after the episode. Similarly, VT events ≤200 bpm treated with shock were also associated with a reduction in activity following the event (−5.8%, IQR −29.5, 12.3%, p=0.003), but not prior to the VT event.
Conclusions
In this report from the CERTITUDE registry, we have shown a temporal decline in device-derived activity following ventricular arrhythmias>200 bpm and ≤200 bpm treated with a shock, but not in patients treated with ATP. Monitoring device-derived activity post-VT events with a shock could provide relevant clinical information and potentially warrant intensified treatment.

Abstract
AIMS The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) have been proposed as prognostic markers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The objective of this study was to examine the association of NLR/ALC before and after curative-intent radiotherapy for NSCLC on disease recurrence and overall survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent curative-intent radiotherapy for NSCLC across nine sites in the UK from 1 October 2014 to 1 October 2016. A multivariate analysis was carried out to assess the ability of pre-treatment NLR/ALC, post-treatment NLR/ALC and change in NLR/ALC, adjusted for confounding factors using the Cox proportional hazards model, to predict disease recurrence and overall survival within 2 years of treatment. RESULTS In total, 425 patients were identified with complete blood parameter values. None of the NLR/ALC parameters were independent predictors of disease recurrence. Higher pre-NLR, post-NLR and change in NLR plus lower post-ALC were all independent predictors of worse survival. Receiver operator curve analysis found a pre-NLR > 2.5 (odds ratio 1.71, 95% confidence interval 1.06-2.79, P < 0.05), a post-NLR > 5.5 (odds ratio 2.36, 95% confidence interval 1.49-3.76, P < 0.001), a change in NLR >3.6 (odds ratio 2.41, 95% confidence interval 1.5-3.91, P < 0.001) and a post-ALC < 0.8 (odds ratio 2.86, 95% confidence interval 1.76-4.69, P < 0.001) optimally predicted poor overall survival on both univariate and multivariate analysis when adjusted for confounding factors. Median overall survival for the high-versus low-risk groups were: pre-NLR 770 versus 1009 days (P = 0.34), post-NLR 596 versus 1287 days (P ≤ 0.001), change in NLR 553 versus 1214 days (P ≤ 0.001) and post-ALC 594 versus 1287 days (P ≤ 0.001). CONCLUSION NLR and ALC, surrogate markers for systemic inflammation, have prognostic value in NSCLC patients treated with curative-intent radiotherapy. These simple and readily available parameters may have a future role in risk stratification post-treatment to inform the intensity of surveillance protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on sarcoidosis in elderly patients are scarce and none have specifically evaluated patients aged ≥75 at onset. AIM We aimed to analyse the characteristics of patients with sarcoidosis diagnosed after 75 and to compare them with those of younger patients. DESIGN Multicenter case-control study comparing elderly-onset sarcoidosis (EOS) with young-onset sarcoidosis (YOS) seen at Lyon University Hospitals between 2006 and 2018. METHODS Using our institutional database, we included 34 patients in the EOS group and compared them with 102 controls from the YOS group in a 1:3 ratio. Demographic characteristics, medical history, clinical presentation, laboratory and imaging findings, sites of biopsies, histological analyses, treatments and outcomes were recorded using a comprehensive questionnaire. RESULTS There were more Caucasians in the EOS group (94.1% vs. 59.8%; P < 0.001), who had significantly more comorbidities (mean, 3.1 ± 2 vs. 1.1 ± 1.6; P < 0.001). In the EOS group, there was less pulmonary involvement (26.5% vs. 49%; P = 0.022), less lymphadenopathy (2.9% vs. 16.7%; P = 0.041), no erythema nodosum (0% vs. 12.8%; P = 0.029) and no arthralgia (0% vs. 25.5%; P = 0.001). Conversely, uveitis was more common in the EOS group (55.9% vs. 20.6%; P < 0.001). Pathological confirmation was obtained significantly less frequently in the EOS group (67.7% vs. 85.3%; P = 0.023). Corticosteroid-related side effects were significantly more common in the EOS group (100% vs. 75.9%; P = 0.030). CONCLUSION Epidemiology and clinical presentation of EOS differs from YOS, including more comorbidities and more uveitis. Elderly patients are more prone to corticosteroid side effects.

Abstract
AIMS There is a paucity of evidence on which to produce recommendations on neither the clinical nor the imaging follow-up of lung cancer patients after curative-intent radiotherapy. In the 2019 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence lung cancer guidelines, further research into risk-stratification models to inform follow-up protocols was recommended. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of consecutive patients undergoing curative-intent radiotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer from 1 October 2014 to 1 October 2016 across nine UK trusts was carried out. Twenty-two demographic, clinical and treatment-related variables were collected and multivariable logistic regression was used to develop and validate two risk-stratification models to determine the risk of disease recurrence and death. RESULTS In total, 898 patients were included in the study. The mean age was 72 years, 63% (562/898) had a good performance status (0-1) and 43% (388/898), 15% (134/898) and 42% (376/898) were clinical stage I, II and III, respectively. Thirty-six per cent (322/898) suffered disease recurrence and 41% (369/898) died in the first 2 years after radiotherapy. The ASSENT score (age, performance status, smoking status, staging endobronchial ultrasound, N-stage, T-stage) was developed, which stratifies the risk for disease recurrence within 2 years, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for the total score of 0.712 (0.671-0.753) and 0.72 (0.65-0.789) in the derivation and validation sets, respectively. The STEPS score (sex, performance status, staging endobronchial ultrasound, T-stage, N-stage) was developed, which stratifies the risk of death within 2 years, with an AUROC for the total score of 0.625 (0.581-0.669) and 0.607 (0.53-0.684) in the derivation and validation sets, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These validated risk-stratification models could be used to inform follow-up protocols after curative-intent radiotherapy for lung cancer. The modest performance highlights the need for more advanced risk prediction tools.

To determine a safe stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy dose for central tumours, the phase I/II Radiation Therapy Oncology Group RTOG 0813 trial used 50 Gy/five fractions as a baseline. From 2013, 50 Gy/five fractions was adopted at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre for inoperable early stage central NSCLC. We report our prospectively collected toxicity and efficacy data. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient and treatment characteristics were obtained from electronic medical records. Tumours were classed as moderately central or ultra-central tumours using published definitions. Toxicity was assessed in a centralised follow-up clinic at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after treatment. RESULTS Fifty patients (31 women, 19 men, median age 75.1 years) were identified with T1-2N0M0 moderately central NSCLC; one patient had both an ultra-central and a moderately central tumour. Eighty-four per cent were medically unfit for surgery. Forty per cent had biopsy-proven NSCLC and 60% were diagnosed radiologically using 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography imaging. Fifty-six per cent of patients were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 2 or worse. All patients received 50 Gy/five fractions on alternate days on schedule. Two patients died within 90 days of treatment, one from a chest infection, the other cause of death was unknown. There was one episode of early grade 3 oesophagitis and one grade 3 late dyspnoea. There was no grade 4 toxicity. Over a median follow-up of 25.2 months (range 1-70 months), there were 34 deaths: 18 unrelated to cancer and 16 due to cancer recurrence. The median overall survival was 27.0 months (95% confidence interval 20.6-35.9) and cancer-specific survival was 39.8 months (95% confidence interval 28.6, not reached). CONCLUSION This study has shown that 50 Gy/five fractions is a safe dose and fractionation for early stage inoperable moderately central NSCLC, with outcomes comparable with other series, even with patients with a poor performance status.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a bona fide non-obligate precursor of invasive carcinoma. Single cell sequencing studies have revealed intra-lesion genetic heterogeneity in DCIS and shown that progression to invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) may occur through different mechanisms, including the selection of a subpopulation of tumor cells, acquisition of new genetic alterations or multi-clonal invasion. Here, we sought to investigate the genetic heterogeneity of DCIS, and to document further the clonal selection process accompanying progression to IDC.
Materials and methods: Synchronous DCIS (n=16) and IDC (n=15) samples from 14 patients were microdissected separately, and DNA samples of tumor and matched normal tissues were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES; n=27) or massively parallel targeted sequencing of all coding regions of ≥410 cancer-related genes (n=4). Somatic genetic alterations and mutational signatures were identified using state-of-the-art bioinformatics algorithms. PyClone was employed to define the clonal architecture of each DCIS and IDC and infer the clonal shifts accompanying progression from DCIS to IDC.
Results: DCIS were found to harbor recurrent somatic mutations affecting PIK3CA (50%), GATA3 (44%), TP53 (38%), CBFB (19%), PTEN (13%), and AKT1 (13%), which are genes known to be significantly mutated in invasive breast cancers. Despite the genomic similarities between matched DCIS and IDCs, NOTCH2 and MYC were found to be amplified solely in the IDC component of two cases, and PPM1D amplification was restricted to the DCIS component of another case. The mutational signature ascribed to aging (i.e. signature 1) was the predominant mutational signature in the DCIS and IDCs analyzed. PyClone analysis revealed that all synchronous DCIS and IDC studied here were clonally related and confirmed the previous observation that DCIS displays intra-lesion genetic heterogeneity. Evidence of clonal selection in the progression from DCIS to IDC was observed in three cases, whereby a minor DCIS subclone likely constituted the substrate for the development of IDC. In one of these cases, from a patient with a BRCA1 germline pathogenic mutation, we observed a shift from the mutational signature associated with defective homologous recombination DNA repair (i.e. signature 3) to the APOBEC-related mutational signatures (i.e. signatures 2 and 13) in the progression from DCIS to IDC.
Conclusion: Intra-lesion genetic heterogeneity is a common feature in DCIS synchronously diagnosed with IDC. Our findings corroborate the notion that DCIS is a direct non-obligate precursor of IDC, and that clonal selection in the progression of DCIS to IDC may be present in a subset of cases, but is unlikely to constitute the most frequent mechanism of progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin injected into the internal anal sphincter is used in the treatment of chronic anal fissure but there is no standardised technique for its administration. This randomised single centre trial compares bilateral (either side of fissure) to unilateral injection. METHODS Participants were randomised to receive bilateral (50 + 50 units) or unilateral (100 units) Dysport® injections into the internal anal sphincter in an outpatient setting. Injection-related pain assessed by visual analogue scale was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcomes were healing rate, fissure pain, incontinence, and global health scores. RESULTS Between October 2008 and April 2012, 100 patients with chronic anal fissure were randomised to receive bilateral or unilateral injections. Injection-related pain was comparable in both groups. There was no difference in healing rate. Initially, there was greater improvement in fissure pain in the bilateral group but at 1 year the unilateral group showed greater improvement. Cleveland Clinic Incontinence score was lower in the unilateral group in the early post-treatment period and global health assessment (EuroQol EQ-VAS) was higher in the unilateral group at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Injection-related pain was similar in bilateral and unilateral injection groups. Unilateral injection was as effective as bilateral injections in healing and improving fissure pain without any deterioration in continence.

Abstract
Delayed pneumocephalus developed in a 9-year-old dog following transfrontal craniotomy and implantation of an experimental local chemotherapy into a partially resected oligodendroglioma, but the animal appeared to be asymptomatic. MRI evidence of increasing intracranial pressure, including progressive ventricular dilatation and compression of periventricular parenchyma, led to the recommendation for exploratory craniotomy. The barrier between the intracranial cavity and frontal sinus was enhanced, and pneumocephalus resolved on MRI at both 1 and 3 months following the repair.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Inhibition of COX-2 has been shown to attenuate the metastatic process in pre-clinical models of human breast cancer (BC). The primary aim of this study was to assess the effect of 2 years adjuvant therapy with the COX-2 inhibitor celecoxib compared with placebo in HER2-ve primary BC patients.
Patients & Methods
Patients were randomised in a 2:1 ratio to receive celecoxib 400mg once daily or placebo for 2 years. Patients had to have completely resected BC with prior local and systemic adjuvant treatment according to local practice. Concurrent radiotherapy was permitted and hormone receptor +ve patients received endocrine therapy according to local practice. Patients with HER2+ or node negative, T1 and grade 1 disease were excluded. Median age of patients was 55 years (IQR: 49-63). 50% of patients had tumours >2cm; 42% were grade 3; 48% had node +ve disease. According to local assessment 73% were ER/PgR +ve. Primary endpoint was Disease Free Survival (DFS); defined as time from randomisation to date of first event, with events contributing to analysis defined as recurrence (distant/local), new primary BC (ipsilateral/contralateral) and death. Secondary endpoints included Overall Survival (OS), toxicity, cardiovascular mortality and incidence of second primaries. Subgroup analysis by hormone receptor status was pre-planned. Survival endpoints are analysed using Cox-proportional hazards and log-rank tests; restricted mean survival is used where proportional hazards do not hold.
Results
Between January 2007 and November 2012, 2639 patients were randomised (1763 celecoxib; 876 placebo) from 181 centres across the UK and Germany. At 13th April 2017, median follow up was 60 months (IQR: 48-72) with 428 DFS events reported. Unadjusted survival analysis results are presented below, with hazard ratio<1 favouring celecoxib:

The interaction between ER status and treatment was not significant; p=0.36.
In the celecoxib and placebo groups there were 17 and 8 deaths respectively in patients who had not relapsed. These were due to cardiac (n=3; 2) and other (n=14; 6) in the celecoxib and placebo groups respectively; none were GI related. In total 304 serious adverse events were observed in 265 patients (186/1763 celecoxib; 79/876 placebo). In the celecoxib and placebo groups respectively these were related to cardiac (n=12; 7), GI (n=9; 2) and other (n=193; 81). Work is ongoing to determine whether a subset of ER+ patients whose primary tumours show the characteristics of a COX-2 signature receive greater benefit from celecoxib.
Conclusions
There is no benefit of celecoxib in the ITT population. Further exploratory studies focussing on the ER+ subpopulation are ongoing. Celecoxib treatment is not associated with significant toxicity when compared to placebo in this population of BC patients.

Abstract
The cancer community understands the value of blood profiling measurements in assessing and monitoring cancer. We describe an effort among academic, government, biotechnology, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical companies called the Blood Profiling Atlas in Cancer (BloodPAC) Project. BloodPAC will aggregate, make freely available, and harmonize for further analyses, raw datasets, relevant associated clinical data (e.g., clinical diagnosis, treatment history, and outcomes), and sample preparation and handling protocols to accelerate the development of blood profiling assays.

Abstract
We examined the association of cardiorespiratory fitness with metabolic syndrome in overweight/obese postmenopausal African-American women. Pooled baseline data on 170 African-American women from 2 exercise trials were examined. Metabolic syndrome was defined as at least 3 of the following: abdominal obesity, glucose intolerance, hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and high triglycerides. Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) was determined using the Bruce treadmill protocol and categorized as: Very Low (VLCRF<18 mL·kg(-1) min(-1)), Low (LCRF=18.0-220-22-22.0 mL·kg(-1) min(-1)), and Moderate (MCRF>22.0 mL·kg(-1) min(-1)). Associations of metabolic syndrome with cardiorespiratory fitness were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and linear regression. VO2peak was significantly lower in the VLCRF compared to the MCRF group. Lower cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL among overweight/obese postmenopausal African-American women. In fully adjusted models, higher waist circumference and triglycerides were associated with lower VO2peak levels (P<0.01) and higher HDL-C was associated with higher VO2peak levels (P=0.03). Overweight/obese postmenopausal African-American women with very low cardiorespiratory fitness are more likely to have metabolic syndrome, higher body mass index, and unhealthier levels of certain metabolic syndrome components than women with moderate cardiorespiratory fitness.

Canine brain tumours are becoming established as naturally occurring models of disease to advance diagnostic and therapeutic understanding successfully. The size and structure of the dog's brain, histopathology and molecular characteristics of canine brain tumours, as well as the presence of an intact immune system, all support the potential success of this model. The limited success of current therapeutic regimens such as surgery and radiation for dogs with intracranial tumours means that there can be tremendous mutual benefit from collaboration with our human counterparts resulting in the development of new treatments. The similarities and differences between the canine and human diseases are described in this article, emphasizing both the importance and limitations of canines in brain tumour research. Recent clinical veterinary therapeutic trials are also described to demonstrate the areas of research in which canines have already been utilized and to highlight the important potential benefits of translational research to companion dogs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is thought to be a precursor lesion to invasive ductal carcinoma and sometimes occurs in combination with invasive disease. However, the majority of DCIS lesions do not progress to invasive disease. To date no molecular markers have been identified that associate with the potential for development to invasive disease. Our work has sought to identify molecular markers that can be used to determine the likelihood of DCIS being associated with invasive disease. Identification of such markers could be of direct therapeutic benefit, since patients with a high likelihood of associated or subsequent invasive disease could be managed more aggressively.
Methods: We have compiled matched pairs, consisting of patients that have recurred with DCIS, compared to those who have DCIS plus invasive disease. Laser-capture microdissection was used to isolate in situ and invasive components of the latter, and in situ components of the former. We analyzed these samples by parallel cDNA-mediated Annealing, Selection, Extension, and Ligation (DASL) analysis of transcription, and DNA copy number analysis by resequencing. In addition, exome capture deep re-sequencing has been conducted on multiple cored in situ versus invasive components of DCIS from the same tumor sample.
Results: Gene expression analysis revealed candidate genes that were specific to DCIS and others that were expressed only in the adjacent invasive component of the tissue. These genes are currently being evaluated to identify interesting candidates. Additionally, we characterized the gene expression signatures from tumors that recurred as DCIS only, to the DCIS component of those tumors that recurred with adjacent invasive disease. We identified genes that were differentially expressed between these data sets.
The DNA copy number analysis of laser-captured samples indicated a single dominant clone in each DCIS. In contrast to previously reported observations, the profiles of invasive versus non-invasive lesions differ significantly from one another. Observations of non-invasive versus invasive components of adjacent disease in two of the pairs indicate that the profile of the invasive lesions differ from that of the non-invasive component, however the profiles share many individual features.
Discussion: Our data identify differences between in situ and neighboring invasive tumor that may mark features associated with progression. Integration of the copy number and transcription profiling datasets will reveal the extent to which genomic alterations drive changes in gene expression. Identification of markers that distinguish indolent and aggressive subsets of DCIS that can be used to predict an association with invasive disease has the potential for near term clinical utility and may identify therapeutic targets for aggressive DCIS.

Abstract
43 Background: Loss of the PTEN tumor suppressor and subsequent activation of the PI3K pathway is common and has potential clinical and therapeutic value in CaP. We examined the PTEN status of primary tumors in pts who underwent adjuvant docetaxel tx in a prospective clinical trial. Methods: Of the 77 pts enrolled in a prospective multi-institutional adjuvant docetaxel trial (TAX 2501, J Urol 2007), we prospectively collected 56 primary tumor pathology specimens suitable for analysis of PTEN status by immunoreactivity (IHC) and/or fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) assay. Protocol defined progression included a PSA of ≥ 0.4 ng/mL, radiological/pathological evidence of recurrent disease or death from any cause. Univariate and multivariable analyses based on the Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze the independent association of PTEN and other known prognostic factors with progression free survival (PFS). Results: PTEN loss was observed in 37/56 pts (66%). Pts with PTEN loss vs detectable PTEN were balanced regarding clinical stage, combined Gleason score, seminal vesicles and surgical margins involvement, and lymph nodes status. Pts with a detectable PTEN had a significantly higher pre-RP PSA (median 14 vs 8.6 ng/mL, p=0.015). 41/56 (73.2%, median followup of 37.5 months, range 10.4 to 44.5) progressed with an overall median PFS of 13 months (mos) (95% CI 9.8–15.8). Independent prognostic factors of progression by multivariate analysis were: seminal vesicles involvement (HR 2.19, p=0.024), combined Gleason score 9–10 (HR 2.46, p=0.027) and PTEN loss (HR 2.36, p=0.037). PFS on pts without PTEN loss (median not reached at a followup time of 37.5 mos, range 10.4–44.5 mos) was significantly longer (log rank test, p = 0.026) compared to those with undetectable PTEN (median PFS 12.9 mos, 95% CI 9.7–15.3). Conclusions: PTEN loss may be an independent prognostic factor associated with poorer outcome of pts with early high-risk CaP treated with adjuvant docetaxel following RP. These findings may have important prognostic and therapeutic implications in CaP. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Clinical studies relating TOP2A and HER2 status by FISH and response to specific drug therapies, including anthracyclines, have yielded inconsistent results. The discordance across studies appears to reflect, in part, the well-documented limitations of FISH testing, including the use of large FISH probes to evaluate the relatively small genes of interest. However, it is also likely that the dichotomization of gene status into “amplified” or “non-amplified” categories inadequately describes complex changes across the gene areas of interest. Identification and delineation of specific amplification-deletion patterns in this region may be of significant clinical interest and could provide deeper insight into mechanisms of drug resistance. Consequently, we selected a subset of HER2 and TOP2A amplified specimens (by FISH) from an ongoing study of CGH, and examined individual amplification-deletion patterns by CGH.Methods: 471 consecutive, archived, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded, >1cm, HER2 2+ and 3+ by immunohistochemistry primary breast cancer specimens diagnosed between January 2000 and 2006 were selected. HER2 status was evaluated by FISH at MSKCC and CGH at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) for all 471 specimens in a double-blinded experiment and clinical correlates evaluated. TOP2A status was also evaluated by FISH at MSKCC and CGH at CSHL in the subset of 64 HER2 2+ by IHC, HER2 FISH-positive specimens. Individual genome profiles by CGH were examined for 20 HER2 and TOP2A FISH co-amplified specimens.Results: 45 specimens had results available for analysis, 20 of which were amplified for both HER2 and TOP2A by FISH. By CGH: 6/20 (30%) were not amplified for HER2 or TOP2A; 4/20 (20%) had homogeneous amplification of HER2 and TOP2A; 8/20 (40%) had HER2 > TOP2A amplification; and 2/20 (10%) had TOP2A > HER2 amplification. Individual genome profiles around HER and TOP2A were examined by CGH. Marked heterogeneity was observed across specimens.Conclusions: CGH at the genome level suggests that current dichotomization strategies for classifying HER2 and TOP2A status appear to incompletely describe and represent the heterogeneity of genomic lability in these regions. The dichotomization of gene amplification results by FISH may contribute to the discordance demonstrated in reported some clinical studies. Studies exploring clinical correlates are underway.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Breast cancer prognosis is used in determining the course of adjuvant therapy for patients. Clinical prognostic indices like the Nottingham Prognostic Index have poor specificity, overestimate the risk of disease recurrence and necessitate more specific and robust prognostic markers. Prognostic gene expression markers are already in clinical use and show improved decision support. Methylation of CpG islands, an important regulator of gene expression, is reported to be disregulated in tumors, thus making methylation markers an important alternative to gene expression markers. We present the results of a genome-wide study that explored loci whose methylation status was significantly associated with recurrence risk.Methods:We used 108 frozen primary breast cancer specimens with ten year follow-up and extensive clinical data including histopathological measurements to identify potential epigenetic markers associated with recurrence risk. Using a previously validated array based method (Kamalakaran et. al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2009) we performed genome-wide measurements of differential CpG island methylation covering over 150,000 loci. We evaluated each locus for its ability to stratify patients into good or poor prognosis groups depending on its methylation status. Statistical significance was established using permutation analysis with appropriate multiple testing corrections. Prognostic markers independent of histopathological factors (ER, PR, HER2, tumor size, grade, node status, age) were identified using multivariate Cox regression analysis.Results:The methylation status of several loci proximal to genes significantly stratified samples independent of other clinical variables. Demethylation of several loci were associated with poor prognosis including ADAMTS4 (Hazard Ratio = 17.5, p-value<<0.001), a metalloproteinase previously implicated in the progression of glioma; DNA Topoisomerase I (HR = 3.81; 95% CI = 1.953-7.462; p<<0.001), implicated in chemotherapy resistance; and JMJD2C (HR = 3.7; 95% CI = 1.828-7.519; p<<0.001), which was found to be frequently amplified in esophageal cancers. The methylation of several loci also had significant association with poor prognosis, such as several members in the forkhead box family (FOXF1, FOXG1B, FOXJ1, FOXL2) and FHL1 (HR = 4.78; 95% CI = 2.38-9.62; p<<0.001). We selected several loci to form an ensemble classifier with statistically significant performance on our dataset. We show that this classifier achieved much higher specificity when compared to the Nottingham Prognostic Index, while maintaining high sensitivity.Discussion:Our retrospective study of genome-wide DNA methylation in breast cancer has identified several novel markers for prognosis. We found methylation deregulation of CpG islands proximal to genes implicated in metastasis and chemotherapy resistance is associated with poor prognosis. Furthermore, the potential for clinical benefit of these markers is their ability to jointly identify significantly larger number of low-risk patients compared to the Nottingham Prognostic Index.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:Emerging data suggest that RNA obtained from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue can produce reliable gene expression profiles. Archived material from two taxane monotherapy studies, CALGB 9342 (comparison of 3 doses of P) and 9840 (weekly vs. q3 week P)were profiled for gene expression and DNA copy number.Methods: A total of 238 patients had primary tumor blocks available from a combined sample size of 680. DNA and RNA was extracted from 1.5mm punch cores and the Ambion Recover-All kit™. quality was measured by spectrophotometric analysis, Bioanalyzer RNA Integrity Number (RIN), and housekeeping genes (RPL13A and Actin). A custom DASL™ array containing 779 genes in two-fold redundancy was designed with genes selected to represent the PAM50 intrinsic subtypes, the Oncotype Dx Score, the Netherlands prognostic signature and the genes most frequently found on recurrent breast cancer amplicons. Several methods for identifying outliers were evaluated, including principal components analysis, pairwise correlations as well as the reproducibility of the platform based on replicate samples.Results: Adequate RNA was obtained from 237/238 of these cases which ranged in age from 12-18 years. Of these, 215/237DASL arrays passed further quality control measures. Adequate DNA for CGH was obtained from 227/238 samples. Analysis of PAM50 intrinsic subtypes showed an excess of basal-like tumors (30%) in the primary tumors of this metastatic cohort compared with expected frequency in an early stage population. Luminal A tumors were less frequent than expected (20%). Patients with basal-like tumors did far worse than other tumor types for both PFS on P (p=0.015) and OS (p=2.7X10-6), which persisted in multivariable analysis (p=0.0047), however the interaction term was not significant (Wald p=0.26). While basal-like tumors had similar PFS and OS on both weekly and q3 week P, luminal A tumors appear to achieve more benefit from weekly P (p= 0.0041).The HER2-enriched expression subtype had a similar prognosis to Luminal A and B tumors. This appeared to be due to the presence of T, as the addition of this agent improved PFS (p=0.026) and OS (p=2.0X10-4). Of note, some centrally confirmed HER2 FISH amplified tumors were classified into luminal A, B, and basal-like subtypes. These tumors have similar prognoses to the overall group, for example the basal-like and HER2 tumors had a poor prognosis despite T (p=0.00086). This suggests that HER2 FISH positive tumors may behave based on the underlying tumor subtype. Sawtooth genomes (45% vs 15%) were more frequent than predicted by an early stage tumor dataset as were simplex genomes (3% vs 24%). HER2 by FISH and CGH were highly concordant suggesting data on gene amplification from this platform is robust.Conclusions: Gene expression and copy number profiling of FFPE material from archived tumor blocks (>10 years) produces quality data for biomarker discovery in CALGB clinical trial datasets. These tools allow discovery of novel patterns of gene expression and genomic aberrations that are associated with differential response to P and T. Further studies using these platforms should be performed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The diversity of breast cancers at the clinical, histopathological and molecular level reflects variation in underlying biology and affects the clinical implications for patients. Gene expression studies have identified five breast cancer subtypes with distinct expression profiles – Luminal A, Luminal B, basal, ErbB2 enriched and Normal-Like. DNA methylation is an important regulator of gene expression that is also known to be deregulated in tumors. We set out to determine the relationship between DNA methylation and breast cancer subtypes in 108 breast cancer samples with previously determined expression subtypes.Methods: We performed high-throughput genome-wide scans of CpG methylation in 108 tumors and 11 normal tissues using our previously validated Methylation Oligonucleotide Microarray Analysis (MOMA) method [Kamalakaran, S et al. Nucleic Acids Research, 2009)]. We identified loci that were most varied across all tumors or had the most significant alterations and performed unsupervised hierarchical clustering on those loci. We then used a genetic algorithm based feature selection method to identify a subset of those loci that could cluster the sample set by expression subtype. We then characterized the loci contributing to subsetting and where possible, the relationship between methylation and gene expression.Results: Unsupervised hierarchical clustering using the 500 most differentially methylated loci across all tumors and 100 most significant altered loci between tumors and Normal tissues clustered the tumors into 3 major clusters – 82% of Cluster I belonged to Luminal Subtypes (22 Luminal A and 4 Luminal B), and 86% of Cluster II samples were of Basal or ErbB2+ subtypes. Cluster III did not show any expression subtype specific enrichment, but contained samples whose expression subtype was inconclusive with weak correlations to multiple expression subtypes. Interestingly, methylation loci that contributed to this clustering were not localized to CpG islands immediately upstream of genes, with 354 loci far from gene transcription start sites. These non-geneic loci did not show any significant regulatory potential based on cross-species conservation measures and no clear function could be assigned to these regions. The remaining 146 loci could be mapped to known genes. Gene expression microarray measurements were available for 79 of these geneic loci and 36 showed significant correlation of methylation to expression levels (p<0.05), implying possible functional effects of the methylation on gene expression. Additionally, distinct subtype specific patterns of methylation could also be detected in known cancer associated genes. CpG islands in the HOXA gene cluster and many other homeobox genes were significantly more methylated in Luminal A tumors.Conclusions: Our results suggest that there are subtype dependant genome-wide alterations in the methylation landscape in breast cancers, especially near homeobox genes. Many more CpG islands with no apparent functional significance get methylated according to subtype in addition to those CpG islands associated with genes with known cancer related functions.

Abstract
Angle-resolved photoemission and x-ray diffraction experiments show that multilayer epitaxial graphene grown on the SiC(0001) surface is a new form of carbon that is composed of effectively isolated graphene sheets. The unique rotational stacking of these films causes adjacent graphene layers to electronically decouple leading to a set of nearly independent linearly dispersing bands (Dirac cones) at the graphene K point. Each cone corresponds to an individual macroscale graphene sheet in a multilayer stack where AB-stacked sheets can be considered as low density faults.

Abstract
A case of multifocal and recurrent ganglion cysts is described. An 11-year-old boy was referred because of symptomatic cystic masses in the extremities since the age of 2 years. Over the years, he had experienced intermittent appearance of these lesions, which were associated with pain, but without any systemic manifestations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cystic lesions with synovio-capsular thickening along the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), atlanto-axial synovial articulation, and tendons and joints of the right wrist and hand. Histopathological examination of one lesion showed anastomosing fibro-connective tissue surrounded by a wall of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue, findings that were consistent with ganglion cyst. The early onset of the disease, as well as the involvement of multiple and unusual sites, including the TMJ, implies a genetic susceptibility to these lesions that we refer to as 'cystic ganglionosis'.
