Abstract |
Reprogramming of cellular metabolism by oncogenic mutations probably creates specific vulnerabilities that could be exploited therapeutically. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Sourbier and colleagues show that kidney cancers lacking fumarate hydratase display increased sensitivity to agents that interfere with their ability to cope with reactive oxygen species.
