You could target these proteins and the mechanism of this switch to block autophagy, which would allow for lower doses of chemotherapy while hopefully improving patient outcomes."

Cells have adapted further autophagy for other purposes as well including recycling dysfunctional components immune response to pathogen invasion surveillance against cancer

Cancer cells maintain themselves by coopting autophagy, an energy harvesting process that is normally used to recycle damaged organelles and proteins.
And autophagy is especially important to cancer cells that have been cut off from nutrient pathways, due to the attacks of cancer drugs such as rampamycin (mtor) inhibitors.
