Integrated genomic analysis to identify druggable targets for pancreatic cancer.

ABSTRACT: According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the standard treatment for pancreatic cancer (PC) is gemcitabine and fluorouracil. Other chemotherapeutic agents have been widely combined. However, drug resistance remains a huge challenge, leading to the ineffectiveness of cancer therapy. Therefore, we are trying to discover new treatments for PC by utilizing genomic information to identify PC-associated genes as well as drug target genes for drug repurposing. Genomic information from a public database, the cBio Cancer Genomics Portal, was employed to retrieve the somatic mutation genes of PC. Five functional annotations were applied to prioritize the PC risk genes: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; biological process; knockout mo
