Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

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...

Area of Science:

Genomic Medicine
Clinical Decision Support
Bioinformatics

Background:

Precision medicine integrates patient genomic data into clinical care.
Electronic health records are increasingly incorporating genomic information.
This necessitates systematic approaches to managing genomic data and associated clinical recommendations.

Purpose of the Study:

To categorize clinical recommendations linked to actionable genes.
To establish a framework for understanding and applying genome-guided care.
To lay the groundwork for automated clinical decision support systems.

Main Methods:

Reviewed recommendations for the 73 actionable genes from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics.
Classified associated medical conditions into five categories.
Categorized clinical recommendations into seven distinct types.

Main Results:

Identified five classes of conditions: cardiovascular, medication interactions, metabolic, neoplastic, and structural.
Defined seven categories of recommendations: avoidance, relative evaluation, pregnancy management, primary prevention, secondary complication prevention, surveillance, and treatment.
Demonstrated a structured approach to organizing genomic recommendations.

Conclusions:

Genome-guided precision medicine recommendations can be systematically classified.
This classification facilitates the development of scalable, automated clinical decision support tools.
Provides a foundation for integrating genomic insights into learning health systems.
