The combination of relative nutrient deprivation and dysregulation of protein synthesis make
malignant cells especially prone to protein misfolding. Endoplasmic reticulum stress, which
results from protein misfolding within the secretory pathway, has a profound effect on cancer
cell proliferation and survival. In this review, we examine the evidence implicating
endoplasmic reticulum dysfunction in the pathology of cancer and discuss how recent
findings may help to identify novel therapeutic targets.
