Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.4K
Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

9.2K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Cancer02:18

Cancer

56.4K
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.

Cancer Prevention02:59

Cancer Prevention

8.7K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biomedical Informatics

Background:

  • Personalized cancer medicine requires comprehensive knowledge linking drugs to efficacy biomarkers.
  • Current knowledge is often unstructured, poorly documented, and limited in scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an open-access, community-driven knowledgebase for precision cancer medicine.
  • To integrate and consolidate information on cancer drug-biomarker associations.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a two-pronged approach: a structured back-end knowledgebase and a user-friendly Wiki interface.
  • Seeded the knowledgebase with case reports and utilized text-mining and human curation.
  • Implemented a Wiki platform for community contributions, corrections, and additions.

Main Results:

  • Created the PCM Wiki and Knowledgebase, an evolving resource for precision cancer medicine.
  • Established a system for community-driven knowledge updates and validation.
  • Integrated knowledge of biomarkers and indications for personalized cancer therapy.

Conclusions:

  • The PCM Knowledgebase and Wiki can significantly aid the advancement of precision cancer medicine.
  • This resource has the potential to improve clinical trials and patient care.
  • A consolidated, community-curated knowledgebase is crucial for personalized oncology.
