Oncogenic mutations in Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) occur in 15%-30% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, despite decades of intensive research, there is still no direct KRAS inhibitor with clinically proven efficacy. Considering its association with poor treatment response and prognosis of lung cancer, developing an effective inhibitory approach is urgently needed. Here, we review different strategies currently being explored to target KRAS-mutant NSCLC, discuss opportunities and challenges, and also propose some novel methods and concepts with the promise of clinical application.
Kirsten大鼠肉瘤病毒癌基因同源物(KRAS)的致癌突变发生在15%-30%的非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中。然而,尽管经过数十年的深入研究,目前仍没有经临床验证有效的直接KRAS抑制剂。鉴于其与肺癌治疗反应不佳和预后不良相关,迫切需要开发一种有效的抑制方法。在此,我们综述了目前正在探索的针对KRAS突变型NSCLC的不同策略,讨论了机遇和挑战,并提出了一些有望应用于临床的新方法和概念。
