Cancer discovery, 2014AACR
In this issue of Cancer Discovery, Romero and colleagues identify somatic mutations and
deletions of MAX, and also define what seem to be mutually exclusive alterations in MYC
family members and other MYC-associated factors in small cell lung cancer. Taken together,
these data highlight the importance of MYC signaling in small cell lung cancer and suggest
possible avenues for therapeutic intervention. Cancer Discov; 4 (3); 273–4.© 2014 AACR.
