Abstract:Objective: Major limitation of successful implementation of targeted therapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is low frequency of target specific biomarker alteration and intratumoral heterogeneity. Cyclin dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) is a ubiquitous serine threonine kinase whoseinhibition has been used as a therapeutic option in other solid tumors. However, critical in vitro and in vivo information about the efficacy and mechanism of CDK9 inhibition in EAC is lacking and needs to be generated before a clinical… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
