Sinonasal cancer: whole-exome sequencing reveals potential therapeutic targets
Results from a study suggest that some existing inhibitors may benefit all subtypes of these rare malignancies, which currently lack effective treatments
New tools and methods are discussed for optimising investigation of precision therapeutics
Results of extensive genomic profiling and a Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method show some promise in investigating new treatments and targets in early-phase trials, despite not being ready for routine research
NGS – a weapon in molecular pathology?
Next generation sequencing has revolutionised cancer management, but has also raised some issues that have yet to be addressed
What are the consequences of ‘pandemomics’ in gynaecological cancers?
As science and innovations continue to progress in gynaecological oncology, there is a need to rethink our perceptions to ensure clinical management and research advance accordingly
Combining liquid biopsy technologies may help improve tumour monitoring
Results from two studies suggest that this approach is essential to refining liquid biopsy use in early cancer detection and to check tumour progression
A study reveals the clonal heterogeneity of de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
Findings suggest that analysis of multiple prostate diagnostic biopsy cores, in contrast to frequent practice, may help reduce tumour mischaracterisation and identify genetic alterations relevant to personalised treatment
Should cancer therapy be tailored based on receptor tyrosine kinase alterations?
Data from a molecular analysis of receptor tyrosine kinase-mutated cancers show a wide heterogeneity of alterations and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor monotherapy
Improving the efficacy of engineered T-cells – from gene transfer to genome editing
A new level of sophistication, namely genome editing, is now available to help overcome previous hurdles with adoptive T-cell therapies
New targets for off-the-shelf treatments open up the field of precision immunotherapy
The identification of mutation-derived neoantigens may help elicit antitumour immune responses in patients with cancer, but this approach is challenging
Milestone in hereditary breast cancer: PARP inhibition benefits women with early-stage disease
Exciting new data show that adjuvant targeted agent olaparib after chemotherapy can cut the risk of BRCA-mutated breast cancer returning or spreading in women
