Abstract excerpt
Constitutive activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is implicated in a variety of human malignancies especially those that carry Ras mutations and is currently exploited as a cancer therapeutic target. The variability of response by cancer cells to the inhibition of the Ras/MAPK pathway both in vivo and in vitro, however, suggests that the genetic background of the tumor cell may modulate...
