Penn researchers report that after blocking the gene c-MYC, which is commonly overexpressed in human breast cancers, tumors still persist. The group found that after turning off c-MYC in a mouse model, 50 percent of c-MYC-induced mammary cancers were still able to grow. With these experiments, they demonstrated that small numbers of breast cancer cells that remain following targeted therapy provide a means for cancers to escape and eventually recur.
