Molecular Panel Testing of Cancers to Identify Targeted Therapies - 10/15
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Molecular profiling for malignant tumors catalogues specific biomarker information and generates potential treatment options. The personalized tumor molecular profiling services or tests are similar in that they all take an individual's tumor tissue and, from it, produce a molecular profile of the tumor and a list of potential therapies. However, their individual testing methods vary from matching over expressed genes with drugs to more complex systems biology approaches. This policy addresses commercially available tests, including but not limited to:

Molecular Panel Testing of Cancers to Identify Targeted Therapies
Currently, there is interest in treating cancers by targeting biological “pathways” that are characterized by specific genetic markers. Genetic panel testing offers the potential to evaluate a large number of genetic markers at a single time to identify treatments that target specific pathways. There are some individual markers that have established benefit in certain types of cancers; these si...

متن کاملSystemic Targeted Alpha Radiotherapy for Cancer
Background: The fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.The high linear energy transfer (LET) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in DNA. At the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. This targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...
متن کاملTreatment of triple-negative metastatic breast cancer: toward individualized targeted treatments or chemosensitization?
Triple-negative [estrogen receptor (ER)-/progesterone receptor (PR)-/HER2-] breast cancers account for ~15% of overall breast cancers. Triple-negative breast cancers demonstrate a panel of specific molecular alterations including a high rate of p53 mutations, frequent loss of function of BRCA1, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) loss and a specific panel of tyrosine kinase activation [fibrob...
