Oncogene addiction: setting the stage for molecularly targeted cancer therapy

Open access

Abstract

In pugilistic parlance, the one-two punch is a devastating combination of blows, with the first punch setting the stage and the second delivering the knock-out. This analogy can be extended to molecularly targeted cancer therapies, with oncogene addiction serving to set the stage for tumor cell killing by a targeted therapeutic agent. While in vitro and in vivo examples abound documenting the existence of this phenomenon, the mechanistic underpinnings that govern oncogene addiction are just beginning to emerge. Our current inability to fully exploit this weakness of cancer cells stems from an incomplete understanding of oncogene addiction, which nonetheless represents one of the rare chinks in the formidable armor of cancer cells.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
