TLDR
It is demonstrated that large studies of acute leukemia PDXs that mimic human randomized clinical trials can characterize drug efficacy and generate transcriptional, functional, and proteomic biomarkers in both treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory disease.

Interrogating open issues in cancer precision medicine with patient-derived xenografts

TL;DR: Patient derived xenografts (PDXs) have emerged as an important platform to elucidate new treatments and biomarkers in oncology as mentioned in this paper, and the ability of PDX models to predict clinical outcomes is being improved through mouse humanization strategies and the implementation of co-clinical trials, within which patients and PDXs reciprocally inform therapeutic decisions.

Functional precision cancer medicine—moving beyond pure genomics

TL;DR: The entire project of precision cancer medicine is called into question and the tools employed must be broadened, with a focus on acquiring highly actionable functional information by perturbing—for example, with cancer therapies—viable primary tumor cells from patients with cancer.

Why do BCL-2 inhibitors work and where should we use them in the clinic?

TL;DR: By determining cells’ readiness for apoptosis and anti-apoptotic dependence, this work can use novel BH3 mimetics to overwhelm this apoptotic blockade and possibly combine them with other anti-cancer agents using dynamic BH 3 profiling (DBP) to improve personalized cancer treatment.

The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity

TL;DR: The results indicate that large, annotated cell-line collections may help to enable preclinical stratification schemata for anticancer agents and the generation of genetic predictions of drug response in the preclinical setting and their incorporation into cancer clinical trial design could speed the emergence of ‘personalized’ therapeutic regimens.
