CHK1 inhibition as a strategy for targeting fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway deficient tumors

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>DNA repair deficient tumor cells have been shown to accumulate high levels of DNA damage. Consequently, these cells become hyper-dependent on DNA damage response pathways, including the CHK1-kinase-mediated response. These observatio...
