Abstract

Keller and Gunther show that Wnt-driven mammary cancers challenged with simulated targeted therapy (Wnt withdrawal) undergo clonal evolution, which stringently selects for mutations that restore a “just right” level of oncogenic signaling. Therefore, cancer relapses emerge from rare subclones that are encumbered by an untapped vulnerability to oncogene overdose.
