We introduce CAN-Scan, a precision oncology platform, which applies ML on next-generation pharmacogenomic datasets generated from a freeze-viable biobank of patient-derived primary cell lines (PDCs). These PDCs are screened against 84 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs at clinically relevant doses (C_max), focusing on colorectal cancer (CRC) as a model system. CAN-Scan uncovers prognostic biomarkers and alternative treatment strategies, particularly for patients unresponsive to first-line chemotherapy. Specifically, it identifies gene expression signatures linked to resistance against 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based drugs and a focal copy-number gain on chromosome 7q, harboring critical resistance-associated genes. CAN-Scan-derived response signatures accurately predict clinical outcomes across four independent, ethnically diverse CRC cohorts. Notably, drug-specific ML models reveal regorafenib and vemurafenib as alternative treatments for BRAF-expressing, 5-FU-insensitive CRC. Altogether, this approach demonstrates significant potential in improving biomarker discovery and guiding personalized treatments.</p>","PeriodicalId":9822,"journal":{"name":"Cell Reports Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"102053"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143787999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each receives 20-min left motor cortex stimulation while performing a simple reaction task.

Notably, the theta/beta ratio predicts and mediates tremor changes induced by tDCS more effectively than theta power alone.
