Blockade of leukemia inhibitory factor as a therapeutic approach to KRAS driven pancreatic cancer.

abstract：:Molecularly targeted therapies for advanced prostate cancer include castration modalities that suppress ligand-dependent transcriptional activity of the androgen receptor (AR). However, persistent AR signalling undermines therapeutic efficacy and promotes progression to lethal castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRP...
