Without challenge, there is no change – the move to precision medicine

I don’t need to tell you that pharma has changed, that it is still changing at speed, or that change is the new normal. I don’t need to tell you because you − more than anyone else − already know. The passing of the blockbuster era has caused uncertainty. Without the superstar drugs of old, where does the industry go next? It’s a serious challenge, but without challenge, there is no change. The answer, of course, is the scalar shift from blockbuster generic to precision medicine specific.

Connecting Cancer Biology to Clinical Oncology: Still a World to Win

Our understanding of the aberrant biological pathways (oncogenic pathways) that are involved in the formation and progression of cancers has increased with huge leaps in the last decades of cancer research. The ever-increasing knowledge was and still is accompanied by the development of increasing numbers of precision drugs, tailored to neutralize these aberrations.

The Challenges & Considerations of Reporting Somatic Variants in Cancer

Industrial and “omic” scale mutational profiling of solid tumours are possible as a result of massively parallel sequencing technology. However, these clinical genomic testing capabilities have also brought myriad new biological, technical and operational challenges not encountered in monogenic disorder testing. All of this impacts the interpretation and reporting of somatic variants. As a testament to the nascency of this field, the first published consensus guidelines for interpretation of variants in cancer was only released in early 2017.
