Cell cycle checkpoint and DDR pathways work together to preserve genomic integrity. Perturbations in either pathway can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the accumulation of mutations that drive tumorigenicity. Targeting defects in these pathways can lead to next-generation therapeutics for multiple cancer types.
