Summary
Squamous cell lung carcinoma (MONDO:0005097) is a cancer with 75 cohort genes (385 GWAS associations across 17 studies; 17 CIViC-evidence somatic drivers; 61 ClinVar predisposition records) and 112 clinical trials. The dominant Reactome pathway is RAF/MAP kinase cascade (12 cohort genes). Molecularly, NFE2L2 Mutation confers sensitivity to Sapanisertib in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma (CIViC Level B); 12 further subtype–drug associations are mapped below. Top therapeutic interventions include docetaxel anhydrous, gefitinib, and carboplatin.

No cohort gene has a CPIC/DPWG genotype-guided dosing guideline (PharmGKB).
Drug repurposing candidates
27 approved/phased drugs hit cohort targets but don’t yet appear in disease-level clinical trials. Target-inhibition rationale is strongest for cancer driver genes; a bioactivity hit is a screening signal, not a treatment claim.
