precision medicine approach to anaplastic thyroid cancer: advances in targeted drug therapy based on specific signaling pathways
نویسندگان
چکیده
personalized medicine is a set of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic approaches in which medical interventions are carried out based on individual patient characteristics. as life expectancy increases in developed and developing countries, the incidence of diseases such as cancer goes up among people in the community. cancer is a disease that the response to treatment varies from one person to another and also it is costly for individuals, families, and society. among thyroid cancers, anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (atc) is the most aggressive, lethal and unresponsive form of the disease. unfortunately, current drugs are not targetable, and therefore they have restricted role in atc treatment. consequently, mortality of this cancer, despite advances in the field of diagnosis and treatment, is one of the most important challenges in medicine. cellular, molecular and genetic evidences play an important role in finding more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. review of these evidences confirms the application of personalized medicine in cancer treatment including atc. a growing body of evidence has elucidated that cellular and molecular mechanisms of cancer would pave the way for defining new biomarkers for targeted therapy, taking into account individual differences. it should be noted that this approach requires further progress in the fields of basic sciences, pharmacogenetics and drug design. an overview of the most important aspects in individualized anaplastic thyroid cancer treatment will be discussed in this review.

Genomically Driven Precision Medicine to Improve Outcomes in Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer is an endocrine malignancy with an incidence rate that has been increasing steadily over the past 30 years. While well-differentiated subtypes have a favorable prognosis when treated with surgical resection and radioiodine, undifferentiated subtypes, such as anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC), are far more aggressive and have a poor prognosis. Conventional therapies (surgical resect...
متن کاملMultimodal approach to anaplastic thyroid cancer.
Despite more than 50 years of research, the overall clinical outcomes of patients afflicted with anaplastic thyroid cancer remain dismal. Survival is limited by the dire consequences of an uncontrolled primary and the prevalence of overt or occult distant metastasis. Local control is influenced by multiple confounding variables, including the inherent biological aggressiveness of the disease an...
متن کاملThe Microbiome in Precision Medicine: A New Approach to Cancer Treatment
Precision medicine is a new approach in medical sciences aimed at individualizing treatment, reducing adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and decreasing health care costs. Precision medicine is also able to maintain the health of individuals by regulating their composition of microorganisms (microbiota) using specific methods. Microbiota is the total stock of microbial species in different organs of...

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common malignancies of endocrine glands, causing carcinomas, such as papillary, follicular, medullary, and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas. Due to the significance of thyroid carcinomas, identification of the main signaling pathways and the affecting mutations has been considered by researchers. Further studies on the dysregulation of oncogenes in signaling path...
