Abstract excerpt
Therapies targeting the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway are generally considered to have limited efficacy in KRAS-mutant cancers. However, specific KRAS mutants exhibit distinct behaviors. Notably, KRASG12R pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors have shown sensitivity to MEK inhibitors (MEKi) in combination with autophagy inhibitors, but a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms is needed to optimize this...
