PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Seizures are among the most frequent and disabling manifestations of gliomas, and in some patients remain drug-resistant despite optimal antiseizure medication and standard antitumour treatments. This review examines the clinical evidence that targeted therapie...

Prospective analysis of pre-diagnostic untargeted plasma metabolomics and risk of triple-negative breast cancer in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for 10–15% of newly diagnosed breast cancer, and its aetiology is poorly understood compared to other breast cancer subtypes. We applied untargeted metabolomics to identify novel biological pathways associated with TNBC risk and poten...
