Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is a resistance mechanism to sequential MET-TKI treatment of MET-amplified EGFR-TKI resistant non-small cell lung cancer cells
1 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance is a major obstacle in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MET amplification drives resistance to EGFR-TKIs in 5–20% of initially sensitive EGFR: mutated NSCLC patients, and combined treatment with EGFR-TKIs and MET-TKIs can overcome this resistance. Yet, inevitably MET-TKI resistance will also occur. Hence, knowledge on development of this...
