Testicular germ-cell tumors (TGCT) have been widely recognized for their outstanding survival rates, commonly attributed to their high sensitivity to cisplatin-based therapies. Despite this, a subset of patients develops cisplatin resistance, for whom additional therapeutic options are unsuccessful, and ~20% of them will die from disease progression at an early age. Several efforts have been made trying to find the molecular bases of cisplatin resistance. However, this phenomenon is still not fully understood, which has limited the development of efficient biomarkers and precision medicine approaches as an alternative that could improve the clinical outcomes of these patients. With the aim of providing an integrative landscape, we review the most recent genomic and epigenomic features attributed to chemoresponse in TGCT patients, highlighting how we can seek to combat cisplatin resistance through the same mechanisms by which TGCTs are particularly hypersensitive to therapy. In this regard, we explore ongoing treatment directions for resistant TGCT and novel targets to guide future clinical trials. Through our exploration of recent findings, we conclude that epidrugs are promising treatments that could help to restore cisplatin sensitivity in resistant tumors, shedding light on potential avenues for better prognosis for the benefit of the patients.

Traumatic brain injury remains a leading cause of death and disability across the globe. Substantial uncertainty in outcome prediction continues to be the rule notwithstanding the existing prediction models. Additionally, despite very promising preclinical data, randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of neuroprotective strategies in moderate and severe TBI have failed to demonstrate significant treatment effects. Better predictive models are needed, as the existing validated ones are more useful in prognosticating poor outcome and do not include biomarkers, genomics, proteonomics, metabolomics, etc. Invasive neuromonitoring long believed to be a \"game changer\" in the care of TBI patients have shown mixed results, and the level of evidence to support its widespread use remains insufficient. This is due in part to the extremely heterogenous nature of the disease regarding its etiology, pathology and severity. Currently, the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the acute setting is centered on neurological examination and neuroimaging tools such as CT scanning and MRI, and its treatment has been largely confronted using a \"one-size-fits-all\" approach, that has left us with many unanswered questions. Precision medicine is an innovative approach for TBI treatment that considers individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle and has expanded across the medical fields. In this article, we briefly explore the field of precision medicine in TBI including biomarkers for therapeutic decision-making, multimodal neuromonitoring, and genomics.
