Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cancers are genetically heterogeneous, so anticancer drugs show varying degrees of effectiveness on patients due to their differing genetic profiles. Knowing patient's responses to numerous cancer drugs are needed for personalized treatment for cancer. By using molecular profiles of cancer cell lines available from Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and anticancer drug responses available in the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC), we will build computational models to predict anticancer drug responses from molecular features.
