The MYC proto-oncogenes are among the most commonly activated proteins in human cancer, yet the clinical efficacy of MYC-targeted agents remains to be demonstrated. The authors of this Review describe how activation of the MYC pathway affects cancer cells as well as the tumour microenvironment and propose strategies for the therapeutic targeting of MYC-driven cancers.
