Primary and acquired resistance to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) drugs are clinically relevant problems in patients with metastatic colorectal carcinoma. A complex network of molecular alterations is involved in this phenomenon. Bertotti et al. report the development of serially transplantable groups of tumor xenografts in immune-deficient mice from patient-derived, genetically characterized metastatic colorectal carcinoma samples. These experimental models (xenopatients) might represent a novel approach to discover and characterize the mechanisms of resistance to anti-EGFR therapy and other molecularly targeted therapies in metastatic colorectal carcinoma. In this respect, Bertotti et al. were able to identify HER2 gene amplification as one such mechanism of resistance to anti-EGFR therapy. Cancer Discovery; 1( 6); 472-74. (C) 2011 AACR.

The EGFR Signaling Modulates in Mesenchymal Stem Cells the Expression of miRNAs Involved in the Interaction with Breast Cancer Cells

Marianna Gallo, Marianeve Carotenuto, Daniela Frezzetti, Rosa Camerlingo, Cristin Roma, Francesca Bergantino, Nicola Normanno, Antonella De Luca

Summary: The study demonstrates that EGFR signaling induces significant changes in miRNA expression, including miR-23c, in MSCs and proposes a novel mechanism of action of miR-23c in basal/claudin-low breast cancer cell lines. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of EGFR in breast cancer progression and the communication between MSCs and tumor cells.

Role of Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) Genes in Uterine Leiomyosarcomas: A Retrospective Analysis

Francesca Ciccarone, Matteo Bruno, Elisa De Paolis, Alessia Piermattei, Maria De Bonis, Domenica Lorusso, Gian Franco Zannoni, Nicola Normanno, Angelo Minucci, Giovanni Scambia, Gabriella Ferrandina

Summary: Uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. Analysis showed that TP53 gene alterations were the most frequent and associated with worse prognosis. Patients with BRCA and HRR-related gene alterations had similar clinical outcomes compared to patients with non-HRR-related gene alterations.

Access and quality of biomarker testing for precision oncology in Europe

Nicola Normanno, Kathi Apostolidis, Audrey Wolf, Raed Al Dieri, Zandra Deans, Jenni Fairley, Jorg Maas, Antonio Martinez, Holger Moch, Thomas Pilz, Soren Nielsen, Etienne Rouleau, Simon Patton, Victoria Williams

Summary: This article examines the access to and quality of predictive biomarker testing in cancer patients across Europe. The results indicate that countries with public national reimbursement processes have higher access to precision medicines. However, many European countries face limitations in accessing single biomarker tests due to a lack of diagnostic laboratory infrastructure, inefficient organization, and/or insufficient public reimbursement.

Summary: The identification of BRAF mutations in a small percentage of NSCLC patients has opened up new possibilities for targeted therapy. The combination of dabrafenib and trametinib has shown positive results and good safety profile for BRAF V600E metastatic NSCLC patients. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the role of other BRAF inhibitors, resistance mechanisms, and alternative therapeutic strategies for BRAF-mutated NSCLC.

Summary: The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques is crucial in clinical research and practice, particularly in oncology, for the detection of variants. Reliable and reproducible bioinformatics tools are necessary to extract molecular characteristics from NGS data and determine complex biomarkers. This review explores technologies, algorithms, and models for addressing the identification of complex cancer-associated biomarkers, such as homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), and discusses the future perspectives and challenges faced by bioinformatics in precision medicine.
