The personalized cancer network explorer (PeCaX) as a visual analytics tool to support molecular tumor boards

ABSTRACT:

Background

Personalized oncology represents a shift in cancer treatment from conventional methods to target specific therapies where the decisions are made based on the patient specific tumor profile. Selection of the optimal therapy relies on a complex interdisciplinary analysis and interpretation of these variants by experts in molecular tumor boards. With up to hundreds of somatic variants identified in a tumor, this process requires visual analytics tools to guide and accelerate the annotation process.

Results

The Personal Cancer Network Explorer (PeCaX) is a visual analytics tool supporting the efficient annotation, navigation, and interpretation of somatic genomic variants through functional annotation, drug target annotation, and visual interpretation within the co
