Giving Up on Precision Oncology? Not So Fast!
نویسنده
چکیده
The vision of matching the right patient to the right treatment at the right time has always been the Holy Grail of oncology. Until recently, very few cancer patients enjoyed the benefits of truly “personalized” a.k.a. precision therapy. With the exploding knowledge of tumor genotype, as well as increasingly available targeted treatment options, it seems that the era of precision cancer medicine is nigh. However, as with many new paradigms, there has been substantial pushback.

Hybrid Fuzzy Algorithm for the Novel Yokeless Axial Flux-Switching Permanent-Magnet Motor
Flux switching permanent magnet synchronous motor (FMSM) has the characteristics such as large output torque, fast speed response and high reliability, so it can be widely used in the field of high-performance and high precision control.In the permanent magnet synchronous motor control system, the speed loop usually adopts the PI control algorithm. Although the PI control algorithm is relativel...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric Determination of Corticosteroids and Its Application in Pharmaceutical Formulation
A simple, sensitive and economically viable spectrophotometric method for the determination of corticosteroids (predinsolone {PSL}, dexamethasone {DEX}, prednisone {PS}, betamethasone sodium phosphate {BEP} and hydrocortisone {HYD} has been developed. The method involves the oxidation of corticosteroids by iron (III) and subsequent complexation of iron (II) with potassium hexacynoferrate (III),...

Background: Job stress is defined as the harmful physical and emotional responses happening when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Some jobs such as nursing are stressful. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of group acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on job stress and burnout among pediatric oncology and special ...
متن کاملMolecular profiling of tumours for precision oncology – high hopes versus reality
Treatment based on molecular profiling of tumor is advertised however there are very limited clinical data supporting this approach so far. Only one, relatively small, randomized clinical trial (SHIVA) have not met its primary endpoint - prolongation of PFS. Some other unpublished series were reported during ASCO 2017 and are discussed in this review. There are many issues to be resolved before...
متن کاملUltimately Fast Accurate Summation
We present two new algorithms FastAccSum and FastPrecSum, one to compute a faithful rounding of the sum of floating-point numbers and the other for a result “as if” computed in K-fold precision. Faithful rounding means the computed result either is one of the immediate floating-point neighbors of the exact result or is equal to the exact sum if this is a floating-point number. The algorithms ar...
