Although the functional interplay between mutant and wild-type Ras in driving tumor initiation and growth has been described, a clear picture of the precise ramifications and mechanisms of this association remains elusive, sometimes with conflicting conclusions. A report in this issue of Cancer Discovery tackles this question, which may have important implications for therapeutic strategies to block mutant Ras for cancer treatment.
虽然已经描述了突变型和野生型 Ras 之间的功能相互作用在驱动肿瘤起始和生长中的作用，但这种关联的确切后果和机制仍不明确，有时甚至得出相互矛盾的结论。本期《癌症发现》杂志上的一篇报道解决了这个问题，这对于阻止突变型 Ras 用于癌症治疗的治疗策略可能具有重要意义。
