What Scope Do Technological Advancements Have in Furthering Cancer Profiling?

While conventional cancer treatment therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy continue to hold sway, researchers are touting more precision-based and targeted approaches to streamline the entire process. Such transformative technological impacts are prompting diagnostics providers to seek highly sophisticated cancer profiling approaches.

A major breakthrough observed in this regard is the advent of nanomedicine. In the conventional sense, nanomedicines are used to modulate biodistribution and target site accumulation of systemically administered chemotherapy drugs to strike a balance between efficacy and toxicity. Starting 2015, the US Food & Drug Administration approved Onyvide and Vyxeos, some of the first anticancer nanomedicines.

Prominent cancer profiling market players are expected to effectively leverage smart sciences to dole out advanced equipment in the future. Boehringer Ingelheim, for instance, currently offers an in-class SOS1::KRAS inhibitor BI 1701963. This is a protein-protein inhibitor that binds to the Son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1), one of the guanine nucleotide exchange factors switching the KRAS gene into an ‘on’ state to single cell proliferation leading to cancerous growth. In 2019, BioGenex released the NanoMtrx® 300, a compact 30-slide bench-top fully automated pathology workstation for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH).

Will Burgeoning Demand for Personalized Medicine Bolster Growth?

Personalized medicine is becoming increasingly mainstream, with patients demanding more precision-based and efficacious cancer treatments. Recent advancements in genomics, computational biology, medical imaging, and diagnostic technologies are prompting practitioners to developed advanced therapeutic approaches.

Emerging oncology personalized medical treatment include the TLR9 Agonist plus Immunotherapy and the EGFR/HER2 Exon 20 Mutation therapy, respectively. The former approach uses the investigational toll-like receptor 9 (TLR 9) agonist CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to reverse resistance to anti-PD1 therapy, an important treatment procedure in metastatic melanoma.

In the latter case, researchers are investigating possible approaches to treat non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) with the introduction of new drugs for treating NSCLC associated with EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertions or mutations.
