Cigarette smoke is the major cause of lung cancer, leading cancer death, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, fourth death in United States. Using high-density gene expression arrays, we describe genes that are normally expressed a subset human airway epithelial cells obtained at bronchoscopy (the transcriptome), define how cigarette smoking alters transcriptome, detail effects variables, such as cumulative exposure, age, sex, race, on smoke-induced changes expression. We also...

Abstract Background First-line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) typically entails a biologic such as bevacizumab (BEV) with 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) or 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin/irinotecan (FOLFIRI). STEAM (NCT01765582) assessed the efficacy of BEV plus FOLFOX/FOLFIRI (FOLFOXIRI), administered concurrently (cFOLFOXIRI-BEV) sequentially (sFOLFOXIRI-BEV, FOLFOX-BEV alternating FOLFIRI-BEV), versus mCRC. Patients and Methods previously untreated mCRC (n =...

Molecular biomarkers hold promise for personalization of cancer treatment. However, a typical tumor biopsy may be difficult to acquire and not capture genetic variations within or across tumors. Given these limitations, genotyping using next-generation sequencing plasma-derived circulating (ct)-DNA has the potential transform non–small cell lung (NSCLC) management. Importantly, mutations detected in biopsied tissue must also ctDNA at different disease stages. Using AVENIO Surveillance kit...

BACKGROUND Molecular testing to determine gene mutation status is now the recommended standard of care for patients with advanced or metastatic Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because majority NSCLC present disease, minimally invasive procedures are necessary diagnosis, staging, and molecular analysis. However, resulting samples have perceived limitations in oncology community, most commercially available tests not been validated these sample types. The current study was undertaken...

Summary: Despite exponentially increased industry investment in oncology research and development with more than $80 billion spent annually, patient enrollment clinical trials remains below 5% globally. Our multistakeholder international cancer coalition envisions ecosystem transformation capacity building through a global “hub-and-spoke” network model to expand access accelerate trials, thus ending as major cause of death this lifetime.
