Optimizing ATR Inhibition and Cisplatin Synergy in Ewing Sarcoma.

Published in: Clinical cancer research : an official journal of the American Association for Cancer Research (2024)

EWSR1::FLI1-mediated dysregulation of cellular machinery opens up potential new avenues for Ewing sarcoma treatment. A recent study demonstrates that pharmacologic ATR kinase inhibition dramatically synergizes with low-dose cisplatin through EWSR1::FLI1-dependent rewiring of transcription, DNA repair, and translation machinery, which could maximize the therapeutic window of the combinatory therapy.
