Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Expresses ROR1 and a ROR1 Small Molecule Inhibitor (KAN0441571C) Induced Significant Apoptosis of Tumor Cells

Background: Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) (ROR1) is normally expressed during embryogenesis but absent in most normal tissues. However, ROR1 is overexpressed in several cancers (onco-fetal RTK) and of importance for various tumor cell functions such as proliferation and survival. In patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL) there is a great medical need to develop new treatment alternatives for those not responding to primary...
