Health: Make precision medicine work for cancer care
Monday, April 20th, 2015Make #precisionmedicine work for cancer http://www.nature.com/news/health-make-precision-medicine-work-for-cancer-care-1.17301 @MarkARubin1: >90% of…patients carry a mutation that may be drug-responsive
QT:{{"
“Hugely complicated genomic reports are rarely available in electronic form and are seldom tied to basic information about the patient. Whole-genome sequencing on tumour samples from nearly 14,000 people by the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), for instance, has revealed nearly 13 million mutations across the genome.
…
Since 2013, working with a team of computational biologists from Weill Cornell and the Centre for Integrative Biology at the University of Trento in Italy, my colleagues and I have conducted a pilot programme to determine the feasibility of tying genomic to clinical data in real time. So far, we have created easy-to-read reports for 250 people with cancer.
…
We have discovered that more than
"more than 90% of our patients carry a mutation that may be responsive to a known drug — although less than 10% of the patients may be eligible for a clinical trial either for logistical reasons or because there is insufficient evidence to warrant trying a non-approved drug.”
