Suppression of KRas-mutant cancer through the combined inhibition of KRAS with PLK1 and ROCK

KRas is frequently mutated in multiple cancer types; identifying drugs to treat such cancers is a good therapeutic strategy. Here, the authors perform a synthetic lethal screen in mice and show that inhibiting Plk1 and ROCK results in the inhibition of tumour growth by increasing expression of the t...
