Proof or principle? On economic modeling to guide genomic testing in metastatic colorectal cancer.
The use of molecular testing to personalize cancer treatment selection is on the rise and has been heralded as a panacea for patients diagnosed with cancer. In principle, the scenario for molecular testing is clearly positive: a relatively inexpensive test that identifies “responders” to expensive therapeutics can improve outcomes for those who receive it while sparing other patients (and socie...
متن کاملGenomic landscape of metastatic colorectal cancer
Response to drug therapy in individual colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is associated with tumour biology. Here we describe the genomic landscape of tumour samples of a homogeneous well-annotated series of patients with metastatic CRC (mCRC) of two phase III clinical trials, CAIRO and CAIRO2. DNA copy number aberrations of 349 patients are determined. Within three treatment arms, 194 chromosoma...

Background: Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iran. However little is known about the economic burden associated with this cancer in Iran. The aim of this study was to estimate the economic burden of colorectal cancer in Iran in the year 2012. Methods: We used the prevalence-based approach and estimated direct and indirect costs of all color...
متن کاملgenomic and epigenetic instability in colorectal cancer
abstract: colorectal cancer (crc) is the third most common cancer in men and the second most common cancer in women worldwide. both genetic and epigenetic alterations are common in crc and are the driving force of tumorigenesis. chromosomal instability, microsatellite instability and cpg island methylator phenotype pathways are responsible for genetic instability in colorectal cancer. chromosom...
متن کاملGenomic testing in colorectal cancer: how much is enough?
Colorectal cancer has been extensively molecularly characterized in recent years. In addition to furthering the understanding of biologic hallmarks of the disease, the ultimate goal of these studies has been to provide tools that would allow us to identify subgroups of colorectal cancer with prognostic and predictive implications, either for the anticipation of toxicity or for selection of the ...
