Journal ArticleDOI
Psychological morbidity and quality of life of ethnic minority patients with cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Tim Luckett,Tim Luckett,David Goldstein,Phyllis Butow,Val Gebski,Lynley Aldridge,Joshua A. McGrane,Joshua A. McGrane,Weng Ng,Madeleine King +9 more
TL;DR: Hispanic cancer patients in the USA, but not other ethnic minority groups, report significantly worse distress, depression, social HRZoL, and overall HRQoL than do majority patients, of which all but depression might be clinically important.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential Value of Immunotherapy in Colorectal Cancers: Review of the Evidence for Programmed Death-1 Inhibitor Therapy
James Wei Tatt Toh,Paul de Souza,Stephanie H Lim,Stephanie H Lim,Puneet Singh,Wei Chua,Weng Ng,Kevin J. Spring +7 more
TL;DR: Immunotherapy with PD-1 therapy has potential benefit for immunogenic MSI-H CRCs whereas there is no evidence to date to suggest immunotherapy benefit in MSS CRCs, and future trials are under way to determine its benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immigrants' perceptions of the quality of their cancer care: an Australian comparative study, identifying potentially modifiable factors
David Goldstein,Melanie L. Bell,Phyllis Butow,Ming Sze,Lisa Vaccaro,Skye Dong,Winston Liauw,Rina Hui,Martin H.N. Tattersall,Martin H.N. Tattersall,Weng Ng,Ray Asghari,Christopher Steer,Janette L.

TL;DR: This study confirmed that immigrants with cancer perceive an inferior quality of cancer care and highlights potentially modifiable factors including assistance in navigating the health system, translated information, and cultural competency training for health professionals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Circulating tumour cells and circulating free nucleic acid as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in colorectal cancer
Stephanie H Lim,Therese M. Becker,Wei Chua,Nicole J. Caixeiro,Weng Ng,Norbert Kienzle,Annette Tognela,Sumit Lumba,John E.J. Rasko,John E.J. Rasko,P. de Souza,Kevin J. Spring +11 more
TL;DR: The detection of circulating tumour cells or circulating free tumour nucleic acids can potentially guide treatment and inform prognosis in colorectal cancer using minimally invasive "liquid biopsies" but they are not yet part of routine clinical care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of the MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 (MRN) complex in rectal cancer correlates with poor response to neoadjuvant radiotherapy and prognosis
Vincent T. Ho,Liping Chung,Amandeep Singh,Vivienne Lea,Askar Abubakar,Stephanie H Lim,Stephanie H Lim,Weng Ng,Mark T Lee,Paul de Souza,Joo-Shik Shin,Cheok Soon Lee +11 more
TL;DR: Expression levels of MRN complex proteins significantly predict disease-free survival in rectal cancer patients, including those treated with neoadjuvant radiotherapy, and may have value in the management of these patients.
