A synergistic two-drug therapy specifically targets a DNA repair dysregulation that occurs in p53-deficient colorectal and pancreatic cancers
21 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
The tumor-suppressor p53 is commonly inactivated in colorectal cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, but existing treatment options for p53-mutant (p53 Mut ) cancer are largely ineffective. Here, we report a therapeutic strategy for p53 Mut tumors based on abnormalities in the DNA repair response. Investigation of DNA repair upon challenge with thymidine analogs reveals a dysregulation in DNA repair...
