An expanded universe of cancer targets
Open accessAbstract
The characterization of cancer genomes has provided insight into somatically altered genes across tumors, transformed our understanding of cancer biology, and enabled tailoring of therapeutic strategies. However, the function of most cancer alleles remains mysterious, and many cancer features transcend their genomes. Consequently, tumor genomic characterization does not influence therapy for most patients. Approaches to understand the function and circuitry of cancer genes provide complementary approaches to elucidate both oncogene and non-oncogene dependencies. Emerging work indicates that the diversity of therapeutic targets engendered by non-oncogene dependencies is much larger than the list of recurrently mutated genes. Here we describe a framework for this expanded list of cancer targets, providing novel opportunities for clinical translation.

Primary human organoids have enabled exploration of biological processes in normal physiology and various pathological states previously difficult to study.
“As a result, primary human organoids have enabled the exploration of biological processes in both normal physiology and various pathological states that were previously difficult to study3,4.”
From Large-scale CRISPR screening in primary human 3D gastric organoids enables comprehensive dissection of gene-drug interactions (2025) · cites this paper as [4]
In “Future opportunities” (page not provided), the paper says 3D cultures of primary tumor tissue preserve features seen in vivo and allow study of tumor phenotypes difficult to model in 2D. This supports the claim for cancer-related pathological processes, but the passage does not establish that primary human organoids have enabled study of normal physiology or pathological states more broadly.

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.
