SINGAPORE, October 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Data on the feasibility of identifying therapeutic options in head and neck cancers and sarcoma with KYAN’s analytical ex vivo drug screening platform will be presented at the Annual Meetings of the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) and the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS).
Head and neck cancers are extremely aggressive and genetically diverse. With radiation as the main treatment modality and few targeted therapies, patients who develop radioresistance are left with limited treatment options and poor survival rates.
Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer with over 100 different subtypes that are difficult to treat, and have limited therapy options due to variable and low treatment responses. Studies have shown that standard of care has response rates of as little as 12%-14%.
For both cancer indications, there is an unmet need to predict patient response to the combination treatment and find other molecular markers that may improve patient outcome.
