Scientists find hidden switch that lets tumors shapeshift and evade treatment
SMRTR summary
Scientists discovered protein "switches" that control how certain hard-to-treat tumors shapeshift to evade cancer therapies, with carcinomas able to transform their cellular identity to resemble different body cells like skin. The breakthrough identified specific proteins governing pancreatic and lung cancer transformations, potentially enabling new targeted treatments that destroy cancer while sparing healthy organs.
