Bioinformatic Methods for Determining Resistance to Cancer Treatments
​ ​ Invention Summary: Determining resistance to chemotherapy treatments for specific types of cancer (e.g., prostate, lung, breast, etc.,) as early as possible can prolong patients' lives by enabling them to be treated with other, and hopefully, more effective treatments as soon as possible. Researchers at Rutgers University have...

Predicting Therapeutic Resistance to Tamoxifen in Cancer Treatment
Invention Summary: Currently, patients with ER+ breast cancer are administered tamoxifen without considering their potential response to this therapy. Thousands of women take the tamoxifen only to discover that their tumors do not respond or that they develop resistance over time. The ability to screen patients ahead of the therapy administration...
