Pharmacogenomics in non-small-cell lung cancer chemotherapy
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 05/12/09
Danesi R et al. - The future challenge of chemotherapy of NSCLC relies on the identification of molecular markers that are predictive of drug sensitivity and are helpful in the selection of chemotherapeutic agents best suited to the individual patient. Other intriguing issues will be the identification of the optimal drug sequence in combination regimens and the pharmacogenetics of severe toxicities. Moreover, due to the developments of novel technologies to decipher genetic alterations involved in tumor progression, new agents are gaining momentum, including inhibitors of intracellular signal transduction, and a large body of research, using prospective clinical trials, should be devoted to this area.
