C-Myc is overexpressed in most cancers as a transcription factor with oncogenic capability that mediates cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, adhesion, migration, metabolism, and DNA replication (Sun and Gao, 2017; Duffy et al., 2021; Dhanasekaran et al., 2022; Grieb and Eischen, 2022). The gene discussed is MYC; the disease is cancer.
