CANCER:
Enhanced: Addiction to Oncogenes--the Achilles Heal of Cancer

I. Bernard Weinstein

A series of recent studies are providing tantalizing hints of new therapeutic approaches for combating cancer. In his Perspective, Weinstein discusses new work (Jain et al.) demonstrating that even brief inactivation of an oncogene can permanently reverse the malignant phenotype of some types of tumor.
