Because of that, intense efforts are being devoted to the development of novel therapeutic strategies to fight the disease [2]. In this respect, identification of new oncogenic drivers offers therapeutic opportunities in tumours in which those molecules or other cooperating elements play a pathophysiological role. Here we show that the MEK5 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase has a pivotal role in lung cancer.FootnotesThis manuscript has recently been accepted for publication in the European Respiratory Journal.
