BRAF mutant (MT) colorectal cancer (CRC) accounts for 10-15% of CRC and represents the subgroup with the worst overall survival. There is an urgent need to identify strategies that hit the ‘Achilles Heel’ in poor prognostic BRAFMT CRC. Preliminary data from the host lab have shown that BRAFMT CRC cells are vulnerable to disturbances in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-specific Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) machinery.
