Searching for Synergy: FAK Inhibition in Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women and 14-20% will develop lethal metastases within 5 years. A potential novel therapeutic target is Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase. FAK’s expression is inversely correlated with survival and is known to regulate c...
