Functional precision medicine identifies novel druggable targets and therapeutic options in head and neck cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: High-throughput phenotyping with siRNA and drug libraries using patient derived tumor cells prioritizes mutated driver genes and identifies novel drug targets not revealed by genomic profiling. Functional profiling is a promising adjunct to DNA sequencing for precision oncology.
