Predicting tumor response to drugs based on gene-expression biomarkers of sensitivity learned from cancer cell lines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors built predictive models for 453 drugs using data on gene expression and drug sensitivity (IC50) from cancer cell lines and applied these predictive models to ~ 17,000 bulk RNA-seq samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) database to predict drug sensitivity for both normal and tumor tissues.

TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of patients with stage IV and unresectable stage III melanoma treated with a MEK inhibitors at Saint-Louis Hospital, Paris between 1 August 2013 and 15 October 2018 found no fatal outcomes; however one patient had a permanent ileostomy.

Les nouveaux inhibiteurs de la voie MAPK (BRAF/MEK/ERK) utilisés dans le traitement du mélanome

TL;DR: In particular, le melanome est le plus agressif d'entre eux et reste un reel probleme de sante publique as mentioned in this paper, and le taux de survie est augmente avec ces traitements mais la qualite de vie des patients n'est pas toujours de bonne qualite.

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.
