OncoscienceAug 30 2024 A new editorial was published in Volume 11 of Oncoscience on July 19, 2024, entitled, "Functional information offers individualized adaptive cancer therapies."
As introduced in this editorial, the Oxford Computer Science Dictionary offers both general and technical definitions of information. Generally, information is anything that can cause a change in a human mind's opinion about the current state of the real world. Technically, information is anything that reduces the uncertainty of a system's state.
Here, R. Craig Herndon from the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Shannon Medical Center in San Angelo, Texas, also explains that Shannon information entropy, based on outcome probabilities or uncertainties in a data stream, can also be defined in terms of signal data uncertainty, often quantified by standard deviation. He suggests that precision medicine research efforts will benefit from integrating functional information.
"This application of functional information for adapting radiation therapy to individual patients requires an understanding of the systems involved to ensure there is an information exchange between the bioresponse and biomarker model."Journal reference:Craig Herndon, R. Functional information offers individualized adaptive cancer therapies. Oncoscience. doi.org/10.18632/oncoscience.607.

Small molecules, big impact: Advancing immune checkpoint inhibitors for cancerImmunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) playing a pivotal role. However, current ICIs, primarily monoclonal antibodies, face significant challenges like poor tissue penetration, high production costs, and off-target effects. These limitations hinder their efficacy and accessibility.
