Circumventing cancer drug resistance in the era of personalized medicine

Garraway, Levi A., Jänne, Pasi A.·2012·Cancer Discovery

Abstract

All successful cancer therapies are limited by the development of drug resistance. The increase in the understanding of the molecular and biochemical bases of drug efficacy has also facilitated studies elucidating the mechanism(s) of drug resistance. Experimental approaches that can help predict the eventual clinical drug resistance, coupled with the evolution of systematic genomic and proteomic technologies, are rapidly identifying novel resistance mechanisms. In this review, we provide a historical background on drug resistance and a framework for understanding the common ways by which cancers develop resistance to targeted therapies. We further discuss advantages and disadvantages of experimental strategies that can be used to identify drug resistance mechanism(s). Significance: Increased knowledge of drug resistance mechanisms will aid in the development of effective therapies for patients with cancer. We provide a summary of current knowledge on drug resistance mechanisms and experimental strategies to identify and study additional drug resistance pathways.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

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

  • The majority of patients who respond well to initial targeted cancer therapy develop resistance.

    “This is not surprising, since decades of research on targeted cancer therapy have shown that the majority of patients who respond well to initial treatment develop resistance.57, 58, 59, 60”

  • Low dependency on K-Ras signaling could confer intrinsic resistance to K-RasG12C inhibitors.

    “Mechanistically, low dependency on K-Ras signaling could confer intrinsic resistance to K-RasG12C inhibitors.12,58,61”

    From Overcoming Resistance to Drugs Targeting KRAS Mutation (2020) · cites this paper as [58]

  • Genomic heterogeneity arising from co-occurring mutations may contribute to the heterogeneous extent of adaptive resistance across KRAS mutant cancers.

    “Genomic heterogeneity arising from a variety of co-occurring mutations may contribute to the heterogeneous extent of adaptive resistance across KRAS mutant cancers.57,58”

    From Overcoming Resistance to Drugs Targeting KRAS Mutation (2020) · cites this paper as [58]

  • Most cancer therapeutics lack known markers for susceptibility or resistance.

    “Although population-based studies have been successful in some instances (e.g., in lung cancers with mutations of EGFR or rearrangements involving ALK), the vast majority of cancer therapeutics have no known markers for susceptibility or resistance3.”

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.
