Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic KRAS mutations underlie some of the deadliest human cancers. Genetic or pharmacological KRAS inactivation produces mixed outcomes and frequent relapse. Mechanisms of tumor resistance to KRAS inhibition remain poorly understood. We present evidence that STAT3 supports tumor growth following KRAS depletion. Using a conceptual framework of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, we show that cancer cells that...
