A Review of Practice-Changing Therapies in Oncology in the Era of Personalized Medicine
Curr Oncol. 2024 Apr 2;31(4):1913-1919. doi: 10.3390/curroncol31040143.ABSTRACTIn the past decade, a lot of insight was gathered into the composition of the host and tumor factors that promote oncogenesis and treatment resistance. This in turn has led to the ingenious design of multiple new classes of drugs, which have now become the new standards of care in cancer therapy. These include novel antibody-drug conjugates, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies (CAR-T), and bispecific T cell engagers (BitTE). Certain host factors, such as the microbiome composition, are also emerging not only as biomarkers for the response...

EZH2: The roles in targeted therapy and mechanisms of resistance in breast cancer
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 25;175:116624. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116624. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDrug resistance presents a formidable challenge in the realm of breast cancer therapy. Accumulating evidence suggests that enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), a component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), may serve as a key regulator in controlling drug resistance. EZH2 overexpression has been observed in breast cancer and many other malignancies, showing a strong correlation with poor outcomes. This review aims to summarize the mechanisms by which EZH2 regulates drug resistance, with a specific focus on...

Multi-Omics Integration for Liver Cancer Using Regression Analysis
This report elucidates how the integration of comprehensive data on methylation, gene expression, and copy number variations can effectively facilitate the unsupervised clustering of cancer samples. We have identified regressors that can effectively classify tumor and normal samples with an optimal integration of RNA sequencing, DNA methylation, and copy number variation while also achieving significant p-values. Further, these regressors were trained using linear and logistic regression with k-means clustering. For comparison, we employed autoencoder- and stacking-based omics integration and computed silhouette scores to ...
