DR-214 Genomic landscape of tumor sensitivity and resistance to anti-cancer drugs in colorectal cancer patients

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second most lethal cancer and the third most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide. Despite of continuous development of a new targeted therapies and well defined molecular targets of potential sensitivity, the mechanisms associated with resistance events are poorly understood. Therefore, we will perform whole-genome sequencing data analyses on CRC patients genomes downloaded from Hartwig Medical Foundation and will identify a set of individual genomic features, underlying tumor drug sensitivity and/or resistance. Obtained data will be used to develop a clinical predictor that will help patient stratification toward anti-cancer therapies, improving long-term clinical outcomes.
