Abstract
The advances in cancer genomics, chemical biology, high-throughput screening technologies, and synthetic medicinal chemistry have tremendously expanded the biological space of cancer targets and chemical space of bioactive small molecules to interrogate oncogenic signaling. To explore and leverage these exponentially growing cancer-associated data, a great number of computational tools, databases, and algorithms have been developed. This review summarizes recent cancer-related web resources that allow researchers working at the interface of chemical, biological, and cancer genomics fields to integrate clinical and genomics data for specific actionable targets and selective chemical compounds to facilitate cancer therapeutic discovery.

Abstract
Zirconium-89 is currently being used in numerous clinical trials involving monoclonal antibodies and positron emission tomography. This report describes a revised strategy that reduces preparation time while increasing the specific activity of clinically relevant immuno-PET agents. Additionally, it demonstrates that n-acetyl-l-cysteine acts as a superior radioprotective agent that improves long-term stability without compromising antigen affinity in vivo.

Yu X, Sun NR, Jang HT, Guo SW, Lian MX. Associations between EGFR gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to glioma: a systematic review and meta-analysis from GWAS and case-control studies. Oncotarget 2017; 8:86877-86885. [PMID: 29156842 PMCID: PMC5689732 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.21011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2017] [Accepted: 08/29/2017] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The results of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and case-control studies performed to investigate the associations between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene polymorphisms and glioma risk are controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine whether EGFR gene polymorphisms are associated with glioma risk by searching 'PubMed', 'EMBASE', 'Web of Science', 'Cochrane Library' and 'China WeiPu Library' to retrieve studies that investigated associations between EGFR gene polymorphisms and glioma risk. Four GWAS containing 35 studies and 7 case-control studies meeting the inclusion criteria were finally recruited, and 11 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed. The results showed a significant positive association between rs730437/rs845552 and glioma risk in Asians, and a significant negative association between them in Caucasians. In addition, rs11506105 was significantly associated with an increased risk of glioma in both Asians and Caucasians, and rs11979158 decreased the risk of glioma in Caucasians. However, no significant association was observed between rs12718945/rs17172432/rs4947492 and glioma risk in Asians, between rs2252586 and glioma risk in Caucasians, and between rs3752651 and glioma risk in either Asians or Caucasians. In conclusion, different SNPs in EGFR gene might have different impacts on the risk of glioma in various ethnicities, which offers new insights into the treatment with a target-oriented approach.
