Zusammenfassung
Die gezielte Unterbrechung molekularer Signalwege („Targeted“-Therapie) ist heute bereits eine wichtige und zukunftsweisende Option in der Behandlung einer Reihe von malignen Tumoren. Voraussetzung ist die genaue Kenntnis der molekularen Zielstrukturen im jeweiligen Tumor, die der Pathologe mit modernen molekularpathologischen Methoden durch den Nachweis prädiktiver Biomarker vor Beginn einer Therapie detektiert und damit erst die Voraussetzung für eine individualisierte zielgerichtete Therapie schafft. Am Beispiel verschiedener Tumoren wird der Stellenwert dieser prädiktiven Biomarker für eine „Targeted“-Therapie dargestellt.
Abstract
The inhibition of molecular signalling pathways (targeted therapy) is already an important and promising option in the therapy of many malignant tumors. A prerequisite is knowledge of the molecular targets in individual tumors which are detected and characterized by pathologists using modern molecular pathological methods and provide the precondition for an individualized targeted therapy. Examples are given demonstrating the crucial role of predictive molecular pathology in determining the molecular targets.
