Abstract 479: Inhibition of the splicing of the EWS-FLI1 fusion transcript reverses EWS-FLI1 driven oncogenic expression in Ewing sarcoma

This study has implications for the treatment of ES through inhibition of proteins required for expression of the EWS-FLI1 transcript and identifies a candidate lead compound for further clinical development. Our findings may also open up strategies for treatment of other cancers driven by fusion oncogenes.Citation Format: Patrick J.
