Abstract

Although somatic KRAS mutations are common in human tumors, no inhibitor of mutant KRAS was clinically available until recently. Canon and colleagues describe the ability of a clinically available KRAS inhibitor to drive immunogenic cancer cell death, thus constituting a promising combinatorial partner for immune checkpoint blockers.
