Identification of New Therapeutic Targets for Gastric Cancer With Bioinformatics

TL;DR: FBN1, FN1, HGF, MMP9, THBS1, and VCAN may be new GC prognostic targets by affecting tumor purity, TMB, TME score, and multiple oncogenic signaling pathways.

High sensitivity sanger sequencing detection of BRAF mutations in metastatic melanoma FFPE tissue specimens.

TL;DR: In this paper, Sanger sequencing using the NuProbe VarTrace BRAF assay, based on the Blocker Displacement Amplification (BDA) technology, is capable of detecting BRAF V600 mutations down to 0.20% VAF from FFPE lymph node tissue samples.

Risk of peripheral edema in cancer patients treated with MEK inhibitors: a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis reveals that the use of MEK inhibitors is associated with an increased risk of peripheral edema in cancer patients and oncologists should be aware of the risk and perform regular assessments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Successful retreatment with combined BRAF/MEK inhibition in metastatic BRAFV600-mutated melanoma.

TL;DR: The combination treatment with BRAF and MEK inhibitors is amongst the current standard of care for stage IIIC/IV BRAF‐mutated melanoma, however, therapeutic options are limited once patients have progressed upon both targeted and immunotherapy.

Methotrexate sensitizes drug-resistant metastatic melanoma cells to BRAF V600E inhibitors dabrafenib and encorafenib

TL;DR: The antifolate methotrexate (MTX) is identified as a sensitizer of acquired- and intrinsically-resistant MM cells to BRAFi’s dabrafenib and encorafenib, and RAS codon 12 activating mutations as prognostic markers for MTX + BRAFi treatment efficacy.

A multiple testing procedure for clinical trials.

TL;DR: The overall size of the procedure is shown to be controlled with virtually the same accuracy as the single sample chi-square test based on N(m1 + m2) observations and the power is found to bevirtually the same.
