The c-MYC oncoprotein as a treatment target in cancer and other disorders of cell growth

Abstract excerpt

The c-MYC proto-oncogene is essential for cellular proliferation but, paradoxically, may also promote cell death. Deregulated expression of c-MYC is present in most, if not all, human cancers, and is associated with a poor prognosis. However, given that human tumours at diagnosis generally carry multiple genetic lesions that have accumulated during (although they are not necessarily essential for) tumour...
