Divide and Conquer: Progress in the Molecular Stratification of Cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Cancer remains an outstanding cause of global morbidity and mortality, despite intensive research and unprecedented insights into the basic mechanisms of cancer development. A plethora of clinical and experimental evidence suggests that cancers from individual patients are likely to be molecularly heterogeneous in their use of distinct oncogenic pathways and biological programs. Efforts to significantly impact cancer patient outcomes will almost certainly require the development of robust strategies to subdivide such heterogeneous panels of cancers into biologically and clinically homogenous subgroups, for the purposes of personalizing treatment protocols and identifying optimal drug targets. In this review, I describe recent progress in the development of both targeted and genome-wide approaches for the molecular stratification of cancers, drawing examples from both the haematopoietic and solid tumor malignancies.

Free Vibration Analysis of Repetitive Structures using Decomposition, and Divide-Conquer Methods
This paper consists of three sections. In the first section an efficient method is used for decomposition of the canonical matrices associated with repetitive structures. to this end, cylindrical coordinate system, as well as a special numbering scheme were employed. In the second section, divide and conquer method have been used for eigensolution of these structures, where the matrices are in ...

This paper presents the structural design for huge systems using Divide & Conquer (D&C) method as a scientific method for optimum designing of complex systems. This method divides the main system into several simple subsystems. Submitted equations in three different cases prove that the optimum response (number of subsystems for minimum system complexity) is independent of main system complexit...
متن کاملIntroduction of Double Divide and Conquer and the Recent Progress
Abstract. An algorithm dubbed double Divide and Conquer is recently proposed, which first computes only singluar values by a part of Divide and Conquer and then computes the corresponding singular vectors by the twisted factorization. It accurately computes bidiagonal SVD in O(n) flops and is suited for parallelization when singular values are isolated. However, the twisted factorization can fa...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance in breast cancer therapy
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women. Chemotherapy is the main strategy in the treatment of this disease especially in the advanced form of the disease. Despite the recent progress in the development of new chemotherapy, the effectiveness of these drugs has dramatically reduced due to multidrug resistance. The phenotype of multidrug resistance (MDR) can occur through different me...
