New research sheds light on role of KRAS mutations in pancreatic cancer

24 August 2023, News-Medical

This study demonstrated that oncogenic KRAS epigenetically blocks expression of the Fas protein, silencing the pathway and allowing cancer cells to avoid an anti-tumor immune response. Suppressing KRAS led to complete tumor regression and significantly improved survival in these models, suggesting the potential for KRAS inhibition to improve immunotherapy responses and prevent relapse...
