Scientists have examined the proteomes of 169 ovarian cancer patients to identify critical proteins expressed by their tumours...
Blanketed administration of drugs to all populations assumes that all patients respond similarly. Despite pharmaceutical companies’ efforts to develop drugs with large therapeutic windows, there are often and inevitably subpopulations of individuals who will either not respond to therapy or will respond with adverse effects...

A new method, developed by UCLA scientists, could eventually lead to a way to improve accuracy of how well a patient will respond to treatment...
Cancer cells exhibit huge phenotypic diversity, with many well-defined phenotypes, such as invasion, deregulated proliferation and immune evasion, contributing to disease outcomes, making them uniquely amenable to phenotypic screening1...
