Molecular Profiling-Based Precision Medicine in Cancer: A Review of Current Evidence and Challenges.


ABSTRACT: Matched therapy based on next-generation sequencing is now a part of routine care to guide the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. However, whether and to what extent patients can benefit from this strategy on a large scale remains uncertain. In the past decade, several clinical studies were performed in this field, among which only one was a randomized trial. We reviewed the literature on this topic and summarize the existing data about the efficacy of this treatment strategy. Currently, the evidence is promising but not solid. Multiple ongoing trials are also summarized. We also discuss the limitations of this treatment strategy and certain unsolved important problems, including how to select the sample and target level, how to interpret the results, and the problem of drug accessibility. All these issues should receive more attention in future clinical trial design and the application of target therapy in cancer treatment.
