Abstrakt: In this issue of Cancer Discovery , Sodir and colleagues employ a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma mouse model with mutant KRAS and inducible MYC to demonstrate that MYC acts as a reversible driver of malignant tumor progression. Abrogation of MYC triggers rapid regression and disassembly of the ensemble tumor through both cancer cell-intrinsic and cancer cell-extrinsic mechanisms, providing a compelling rationale for therapeutic targeting of MYC. See related article by Sodir et al., p. 588 .
