Clinical Translation of Combined MAPK and Autophagy Inhibition in <i>RAS</i> Mutant Cancer

<i>RAS</i> (rat sarcoma virus) mutant cancers remain difficult to treat despite the advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Targeted therapies against the components of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways, including <i>RAS</i>, RAF, MEK, and ERK, have dem...
