Abstract

Prospective molecular characterization of cancer has enabled physicians to define the genomic changes of each patient's tumor in real time and select personalized therapies based on these detailed portraits. Despite the promise of such an approach, previously unrecognized biological and therapeutic complexity is emerging. Here, we synthesize lessons learned and discuss the steps required to extend the benefits of genome-driven oncology, including proposing strategies for improved drug design, more nuanced patient selection, and optimized use of available therapies. Finally, we suggest ways that next-generation genome-driven clinical trials can evolve to accelerate our understanding of cancer biology and improve patient outcomes.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Functional precision medicine is based on testing drug responses on patient tumors to identify effective regimens and does not require prior knowledge of a tumor molecular profile.

    “FPM is based on testing drug responses on patient tumors to identify effective regimens and does not require any knowledge of a tumor molecular profile or characteristics a priori.”

    From Organoids (2022) · cites this paper as [166]

    The Introduction and Improved Patient Selection sections discuss genomically guided treatment, not functional precision medicine. Searches for functional precision medicine, drug-response testing on patient tumors, and treatment selection without a prior molecular profile found no passage addressing the claim in our copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
