•MTOR pathway genes are often mutated in ovarian clear cell carcinomas (OCCC).•11.2% of OCCC have targetable alterations only in the mTOR pathway.•MTOR pathway mutations in OCCC can underlie robust, lasting responses to everolimus.

BACKGROUND Identification of clinically relevant oncogenic drivers in advanced cancer is critical in selecting appropriate targeted therapy. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based clinical cancer gene assay, we performed comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) of advanced cases of lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumors from 51 lung adenocarcinoma patients who...

INTRODUCTION Pancreatic cancer is a devastating malignancy and a leading cause of cancer mortality. Furthermore, early diagnosis represents a serious hurdle for clinicians, as symptoms are non-specific and usually manifest in advanced, treatment-resistant stages of the disease. SOURCES OF DATA Here, we review the rationale and progress of targeted therapies currently under investigation. AR...

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) constitute a category of anticancer targeted therapy that has gathered great interest during the last few years because of their potential to kill cancer cells while causing significantly fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. In this paper, a process of computational construction of ADCs is described, using the surface lysines of an antibody and a non...

UNLABELLED There have been significant advances in the past several years with regard to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for cancer. This is highlighted in melanoma, where treatment with targeted therapy (against the BRAF oncoprotein) results in responses in the majority of patients, although the duration of response is limited. In contrast, treatment with immunotherapy results in a lower re...

The 2015 St. Gallen Consensus Conference on early breast cancer took place in Vienna, Austria, for the first time. After 3 days of high-level presentations by international panel members of clinical trials having been reported recently in the field, the traditional Saturday voting tried to translate the assembled knowledge into clinical treatment recommendations intended to guide clinical pract...

The aim of the review is to highlight principle action, effectiveness and prospects for development targeted therapy in treatment patients with malignant neoplasms based on recent clinical studies. Thanks active study tumor biology, specific target molecules have been discovered it has become possible cells drugs. Today, drugs are used tumors various organs continue demonstrate their effectiven...
