The changing face of cancer therapeutics improved : outcome and decreased toxicity with Molecular Targeted Drugs [PDF]
The treatment of patients with cancer has largely involved the administration of cytotoxic drugs with narrow therapeutic indices, with little selectivity for cancer cells over normal proliferating cells.

Keratin 19 (KRT19) is overexpressed in high‐grade serous ovarian cancer with high levels of Kallikrein‐related peptidases (KLK) 4–7 and is associated with poor survival. In vivo analyses demonstrate that elevated KRT19 increases peritoneal tumour burden.

Therapeutics Letter 45 considers the value of single stereoisomer drugs. Stereoisomers are molecules with one or more “chiral” centres that allow the possibility of forms with the same chemical formula but differing spatial arrangements. The concept that

Somatic mutational landscape in von Hippel–Lindau familial hemangioblastoma
The causes of central nervous system (CNS) hemangioblastoma in Von Hippel–Lindau (vHL) disease are unclear. We used Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) on familial hemangioblastoma to investigate events that underlie tumor development. Our findings suggest that VHL loss creates a permissive environment for tumor formation, while additional alterations ...

Therapeutics Letter 42 explores the reporting of serious adverse events (SAEs) using examples from lipid-lowering trials. Conclusions: Total %SAEs is an important measure of the health impact of a drug.

Targeted therapy was evaluated in SHH medulloblastoma using neuroepithelial stem cell (NES) and tumor‐derived NES‐like (tNES) models in 2D monolayers and 3D spheroids. PI3K, AKT, and CDK4/6 inhibitors had minimal effects in NES but markedly reduced viability and growth and induced apoptosis in tNES cells, revealing distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities.

We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...
