Next-Generation Sequencing: Targeting Targeted Therapies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has given new perspective in oncology. With the ongoing development of targeted therapies, NGS is evolving molecular diagnostics by providing comprehensive interrogation of clinically actionable genomic aberrations in tumors. Having this assay as the primary testing method produces clinically beneficial results. See related article by Drilon et al., p. 3631.

Advances in targeted and immunobased therapies for colorectal cancer in the genomic era.
Targeted therapies require information on specific defective signaling pathways or mutations. Advances in genomic technologies and cell biology have led to identification of new therapeutic targets associated with signal-transduction pathways. Survival times of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) can be extended with combinations of conventional cytotoxic agents and targeted therapies. Target...
متن کاملIdentification of novel therapeutic targets in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma using targeted next generation sequencing
Understanding genetic aberrations in cancer leads to discovery of new targets for cancer therapies. The genomic landscape of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been fully described. Therefore, patients with refractory advanced/metastatic HCC referred for experimental therapies, who had adequate tumor tissue available, had targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) of their tumor samples usin...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Significance of Mutations in Tumor Suppressor Genes Identified Using Next-Generation Sequencing: A Case Report
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumors has been heralded as a promising tool to identify 'actionable' abnormalities susceptible to therapies targeting these mutated genes. Inhibiting the oncoprotein expressed from a single dominant mutated gene (oncogene) forms the basis for the success of most of the targeted gene therapies approved in the last several years. The well over 20 FDA-approved ...

NGS: next-generation sequencing STAMP: Stanford targeted next-generation sequencing panel INTRODUCTION The molecular classification of melanomas, which can have diverse clinical and histopathologic features, is defined by the acquisition of somatic mutations. Mutations such as BRAF V600E result in constitutive activation of critical signaling pathways that promote formation of melanocytic nevi....
متن کاملImplementation of “clinical sequencing” in cancer genome medicine in Japan
In oncology, actionable mutations (alterations) in cancer-associated genes are critical in terms of the selection of therapeutic approaches. Next-generation sequencing of tumor sample DNA (ie, clinical sequencing) can guide clinical management by providing diagnostic or prognostic data, and facilitating the identification of potential treatment regimens, such as molecular-targeted and immune ch...
