Pharmacogenetic testing in patients with cancer requiring cytotoxic chemotherapy offers the potential to predict, prevent, and mitigate chemotherapy-related toxicities. While multiple drug-gene pairs have been identified and studied, few drug-gene pairs are currently used routinely in the clinical status. Here we review what is known, theorized, and unknown regarding the use of pharmacogenetic testing in cancer.

In the contemporary era of drug discovery, herbal treatments have demonstrated an unparalleled ability to produce anticancer drugs. An important part of the therapy of cancer is the use of plants and their by-products via analogues, which alter the tumor microenvironment and several signaling pathways. The objective of the current investigation was to conclude the rate at which the herbal medications quercetin (QT) and sulforaphane (SFN) repressed the growth of breast carcinoma cells in MDA-MB-231 by preventing the ERK/MAPK signaling systems.

Chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression (CIM) significantly impairs hematopoiesis. Trilaciclib (TC), originally developed for oncology application, is the only FDA-approved CDK4/6 inhibitor for CIM, which effectively protects bone marrow cells by inhibiting their proliferation. In this study, a series of TC derivatives were designed and synthesized as CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) for alleviating CIM.

Despite the availability of multiple treatment options for breast cancer, challenges such as adverse events, drug resistance, and disease progression persist for patients. The identification of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) as an oncogenic driver in a subset of breast cancers, alongside the development of HER2-targeted therapies, has significantly improved the prognosis of HER2-amplified breast cancers. However, therapeutic options remain limited for HER2-overexpressing or HER2-negative breast cancers.

A critical challenge in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is expanding its effectiveness through the development of novel boron agents with different mechanisms of action than the approved drug 4-borono-l-phenylalanine (BPA). In this study, we developed a small molecule boron carrier, biotinyl--dodecaborate conjugate with an iodophenyl moiety (BBC-IP), incorporating biotin as a ligand for biotin receptors overexpressed in various cancer cells, alongside an albumin ligand and boron source. BBC-IP exhibited high water solubility, minimal cytotoxicity, and superior cellular uptake compared to BPA in both human and mouse cancer cells.
