IMH trial to study efficacy of personalised transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression. Synopsis: Every first Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you. Researchers from the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore are studying a new personalised treatment for resistant depression.  It is the personalised version of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate and reset the specific part of the brain that regulates mood.  A clinical trial that aims to study its efficacy is currently being conducted at IMH. It pairs TMS with the algorithm of each patient's functional magnetic resonance imaging to identify a precise spot on the head where magnetic stimulation can be applied to achieve better outcomes. In this Health Check podcast episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo speaks to two experts involved in the trial. Dr Tor Phern Chern is a Senior Consultant at the Mood & Anxiety department and Head of Neurostimulation Service, at IMH and Associate Professor Thomas Yeo is from the Centre for Sleep and Cognition at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

Angela George, Consultant Medical Oncologist, Consultant in Oncogenetics, and Clinical Director of Genomics, The Royal Marsden Hospital, London, UK, joins Jonathan to discuss the importance of personalised cancer treatment for patients. George explains her specific interest in germline and somatic mutations in cancer, the hereditary and genetic links in different cancer types, and her focus on genomics research to improve outcomes for patients during and post-treatment.

This presentation centres on Queensland Health's vision to transform the health system by embedding genomics and precision health into routine healthcare delivery. Ides will show how innovative projects intersect and align to the broader agenda and that importantly, the only way we can enable innovation in this complex ecosystem is to support innovation everywhere but making sure the areas and teams are connected. This means that ultimately, system capability is advanced and able to deliver personalised early diagnosis, intervention and treatment, resulting in optimised patient experience and outcomes and reducing low value and harmful care.

“I hope it will happen in our lifetime, that we will start to learn how to use the totality of information that's available on tumours. And I don't just mean genomics, I mean any of it - including all the bits around the tumour, the microenvironment, the immune system. In the last 10 years alone, cancer research has grown phenomenally. It's been extraordinary to be involved in all of it. It's a very real privilege to be to be in this space.”  In this week's episode of The G Word, Chris Wigley is joined by Serena Nik-Zainal, a consultant in clinical genetics, a Cancer Research UK Advanced Clinical Scientist at the University of Cambridge and an Honorary Consultant in Clinical Genetics at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. She was the first woman to win the Josef Steiner Cancer Research Award in 2019.  Serena discusses sharing data, personalised treatment for cancer patients and the impact of the 100,000 Genomes Project. She also talks about the involvement of participants, cancer research and the need for genomic data diversity. 

An international collaboration led by researchers from the Children's Cancer Institute and the Kids Cancer Centre at Sydney Children's Hospital is using genetic mapping to tailor treatments to individual children.

Cancer remains one of the world's biggest killers. Lung cancer alone is responsible for 1.7 miliion deaths globally every year, and prevalence in developing markets is very much on the rise. Irrespective of geography, most cases are identified  when they are already at a late stage, and the chances of beating the cancer are much slimmer. Oncimmune's EarlyCDT Lung blood test, first patented nearly 20 years ago, is clinically proven to detect lung cancer on average 4 years before a standard clinical diagnosis. It is a simple, non-invasive finger prick test that has been shown to save lives, as depicted in their moving “Extra Time” campaign on www.extratime.gallery. My guest in this episode is Adam Hill, CEO of Oncimmune, who took the helm in 2018 and led the company into its current strong position, with global partnerships in place and a number of other cancer testing products soon to be announced. This is a relatively rare example of a biotech business with a product that is already saving lives. Adam talks about the significant shift in the oncology community in recent years, to recognise the importance of the immune system in policing cancerous cells. Oncimmune's ImmunoINSIGHTS platform supports pharma companies by working to predict immune related adverse events in patients by profiling autoantibodies and predicting the immune response. They use advanced data science to stratify or triage patients, enhancing drug development and allowing a more personalised and effective treatment. So please listen in to this eye-opening conversation, and contact Oncimmune via the website at www.oncimmune.com - particularly If you are a clinician or a patient wanting to find out more about Oncimmune's Early CDT test, or a pharma company and would like to know more about how Oncimmune's ImmunoINSIGHTS platform can support your drug development.

ecancer visits the Brain Tumour Bank at Southmead Hospital, Bristol, a joint initiative between the NHS and Bristol University. Approximately 7,000 patients in the UK develop primary brain cancer, but there are many more who develop secondary cancer within the brain from different primary sites around the body (such as breast and lung). The brain tumour unit at North Bristol Trust treated over 400 cases of primary brain and spinal cord tumours in 2010. Brain cancer affects both adults and children, and in children it is the second highest cause of death after accidents. One of the major problems with primary brain cancer is that it invades the brain widely as single cells and therefore can be difficult to completely remove by surgery. It also can develop resistance to traditional chemotherapy and therefore tumour relapse is common. Future developments of brain cancer will involve fully understanding each individual’s tumour according to what is driving the abnormal growth of that specific tumour. Then surgery and a range of therapies can be tailored to the individual, providing a personalised medicine approach. Dr Kathreena Kurian, Honorary Consultant Neuropathologist/ University of Bristol Reader in Brain Tumour Research, gives us a background to the tumour bank and Hannah Williams talks us through her PhD research in to a blood test for brain cancer.

Dr Atanasio Pandiella talks to ecancer at the 2012 ESMO meeting in Vienna about the basis of personalised therapies for cancer and what the future holds for this type of treatment. In addition, Dr Paniella talks about the impact that this will have on patients through more efficient treatment with less toxicity and minimising relapse. Technologies that will help in these fields are proteomic and genomic technology that analyse the changes in alterations of the DNA in tumour cells, thus revealing potential targets. The development of these therapies and technologies faces the challenge of costs and efficiency.

Prof Seoane presents at the symposium, 'Translational and tailored, but can we afford it?', at the 22nd European Association for Cancer Research, Barcelona, 8th July 2012. The official EACR-22 sponsored satellite symposium was hosted by ecancer, in partnership with EurocanPlatform and Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology.

Dr Katharine Owen talks about the different types of Diabetes in young adults. There are more forms of diabetes than the commonly known type 1 and type 2. Dr Katherine Owen investigates the different characteristics of monogenic diabetes with the aim of creating systematic diagnostics for aetiology of diabetes, and implementing that in clinical care. The ultimate aim is to promote personalized medicine for everybody with diabetes.

Dr Katharine Owen talks about the different types of diabetes in young adults. There are more forms of diabetes than the commonly known type 1 and type 2. Correct diagnosis of the different forms of diabetes is difficult because of the overlap of symptoms. The implications of incorrect diagnosis are huge, as some forms of diabetes respond better to certain treatments than others. Dr Katherine Owen investigates the different characteristics of monogenic diabetes with the aim of creating systematic diagnostics, and implementing that in clinical care. The ultimate aim is to promote personalised medicine for everybody with diabetes.

Professor Stephen Gough talks about the development of personalised diabetes treatment. Prof. Stephen Gough believes that you cannot give every patient affected by diabetes the same treatment; where people react differently to treatments provides a background to his research. Prof. Gough aims to provide the right treatment to the right person at the right time in their disease for optimum results.

Professor Stephen Gough talks about the development of personalised diabetes treatment. An estimated 500 million people worldwide will be affected by diabetes within the next fifteen years. Professor Stephen Gough believes that you cannot give every patient affected by diabetes the same treatment, since people react differently to treatments. Professor Gough looks at the reasons behind differences in the way that people react to diabetes treatments, in order to improve care and reduce the health and economic costs associated with the disease. Professor Gough aims to provide the right treatment to the right person at the right time in their disease for optimum results.
