Genomic classification of the RAS network identifies a personalized treatment strategy for lung cancer.
Better approaches are needed to evaluate a single patient's drug response at the genomic level. Targeted therapy for signaling pathways in cancer has met limited success in part due to the exceedingly interwoven nature of the pathways. In particular, the highly complex RAS network has been challenging to target. Effectively targeting the pathway requires development of techniques that measure g...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculations of dose distribution for the treatment of gastric cancer with proton therapy
Proton therapy is a common form of external radiation therapy based on the manipulation of Bragg peak of this beam, it can treat the tumor by delivering high levels of doses to it, while protecting surrounding healthy tissues against radiation. In this work, the dose distribution of proton and secondary particles such as neutrons, photons, electrons and positrons in gastric cancer proton therap...
متن کاملPersonalized Medicine and Imaging Optimal Patient Selection for Trastuzumab Treatment in HER2-Positive Advanced Gastric Cancer
Purpose: Chemotherapy plus trastuzumab is standard of care for HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, not all patients with HER2-positive AGC seem to benefit from trastuzumab. We evaluated the association between treatment outcomes with trastuzumab and HER2 status in patients with HER2positive AGC. Experimental Design: We enrolled 126 patients with HER2positive AGC treated with t...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnosis for Personalized Target Therapy in Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In advanced and metastatic gastric cancer, the conventional chemotherapy with limited efficacy shows an overall survival period of about 10 months. Patient specific and effective treatments known as personalized cancer therapy is of significant importance. Advances in high-throughput technologies such as microarray a...
