Constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling can promote oncogenesis, providing a rationale
for anticancer strategies that inhibit NF-κB signaling. Two recent publications in Genes &
Development provide evidence that, in contexts where prosurvival signals derive from other
oncogenes, NF-κB activity instead enhances sensitivity to cytotoxic chemotherapy, thereby
exerting a tumor-suppressor function.
