Popis: Pancreatic cancer cells may develop resistance to KRAS inhibitors due to activation of compensatory pathways. In this study, the authors demonstrate that KRAS is dispensable in a subset of pancreatic cancer and that PI3K signalling may have an important role in mediating tumor growth following KRAS inhibition.
