Abstract

The single oncogene of Ewing sarcoma (ES), a childhood cancer, encodes a FLI1 fusion protein. Srivastava et al. report physical interactions between the fusion protein and the glucocorticoid receptor. Drug-induced inhibition of these interactions retards the progression of ES in mouse models.
