Scientists untangle the biology of an 'undruggable' cancer gene

The New York Times reports that researchers have made progress understanding the biology of a cancer gene long considered 'undruggable' — one that drives tumours but had resisted efforts to target it with medications. The work clarifies how the gene operates, potentially opening routes to new therapies. Readers are sharing and discussing the finding, which touches on one of the hardest problems in cancer research.

Why now: New reporting on a breakthrough against a long-untargetable cancer driver naturally draws wide attention.
