Abstract excerpt
Osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is commonly used to treat EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, acquired resistance to mutant EGFR (T790M) can evolve following osimertinib treatment. High reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in lung cancer cells can influence heme levels and have an impact on osimertinib resistance. Here, we found that heme levels were...
