Abstract:
Molecular profiling reports (MPRs) are critical for determining treatment options for cancer patients. They include several pages of information on genomic findings, drugs, and trial options that are challenging to synthesize for effectively and expeditiously informing on treatment. Xu and Kowalski present a web application, myCMIE, that synthesizes MPR content to define a patient-centric, information system in which molecular profiles are exchanged between a query case(s) and public resources or user-input case series for context-informed treatment and conjecture with therapeutic implication. myCMIE offers an interactive build of coordinately connected digital-twin communities to expand our understanding of treatment context with multiple visuals to stimulate discussions among diverse stakeholders in care.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.

Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
