Abstract A118: Leveraging metabolic restriction in cooperation with SHP2 deficiency to inhibit PDAC
SHP2 (Ptpn11) is a tyrosine phosphatase well defined by its role in the MAPK pathway, including modulation of KRAS activity. KRAS is mutated in >90% of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which is the third leading cause of US cancer deaths. Mutant KRAS drives uncontrolled cell proliferation and cancer growt...
