Statistics from the American Cancer Society (www. cancer. org) indicate that the average person has a 1 in 2 chance of developing cancer making cancer the second leading cause of death in Western Society. Biomedical research now stands at an interesting crossroad in the history of cancer therapy. Previous strategies, aimed at the indiscriminate killing of rapidly dividing cells, are beginning to be replaced by more selective approaches that specifically target the genetic changes responsible for tumor initiation and progression. If this field continues to advance as anticipated, a future can be foreseen where cancer therapies are personalized to the individual patient, allowing for maximal therapeutic benefit with minimal off-target effects.Many of the novel therapeutic approaches currently under development are a direct result of the “oncogene revolution” that occurred in the 1980s, which led to the identification of the genetic mutations necessary for malignant transformation. These mutations typically occur in the receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as c-KIT (GIST), Bcr-ABL (chronic myeloid leukemia), the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (colorectal carcinoma, some subgroups of lung cancer), as well as GTPases, eg, KRAS (colon carcinoma, lung cancer) and serine/threonine kinases BRAF (melanoma, thyroid cancer, colorectal carcinoma)[1–3]. Now, several years later, there is evidence that impressive clinical responses can be achieved provided the correct oncogenic mutations are targeted. The c-KIT/Bcr-ABL kinase inhibitor imatinib has become the standard of care for unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML)[4]. Similar encouraging results have also been observed when mutated BRAF is targeted in melanoma [5] and Hedgehog signaling is inhibited in patients with medulloblastoma [6].
