Description:

Technology Overview

OHSU researchers have identified a novel treatment method which, when used in combination with first-line cancer therapies, has the potential to minimize residual disease, the primary cause of relapse in all cancers.  The method leverages existing drugs that inhibit a metabolic target molecule not previously understood to be involved in autophagy, a biological mechanism that supports tumor cell survival.  Inhibition of this target, combined with standard therapy, can be used to treat cancers more effectively.
