Table 1.

Some prominent G-protein cancer drivers and their incidence rates in human cancers. K-Ras, RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 are depleted in cancer cells treated with PCAIs resulting in loss of cancer progression phenomena such as cell viability, cytoskeletal organization, cell shape, motility and invasion, consistent with loss of their biological functions [24, 46-51].
