The Impact of Microenvironmental Heterogeneity on the Evolution of Drug Resistance in Cancer Cells
1 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
Therapeutic resistance arises as a result of evolutionary processes driven by dynamic feedback between a heterogeneous cell population and environmental selective pressures. Previous studies have suggested that mutations conferring resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells lower the fitness of resistant cells relative to...
