Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIM: Many cancer patients face multiple primary cancers. It is challenging to find an anticancer therapy that covers both cancer types in such patients. In personalized medicine, drug response is predicted using genomic information, which makes it possible to choose the most effective therapy for these cancer patients. The aim of this study was to identify chemosensitive gene sets and compare the predictive accuracy of response of cancer cell lines to drug treatment, based on both the genomic features of cell lines and cancer types.
