Targeting DNA Damage Response-Mediated Resistance in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: From Mechanistic Insights to Drug Development

Abstract excerpt

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a major contributor to cancer-related deaths worldwide, with therapeutic resistance presenting a critical clinical hurdle. The DNA damage response (DDR) constitutes a sophisticated cellular framework that detects, signals, and repairs genetic lesions to preserve genomic stability. While the DDR plays a crucial role in determining the efficacy of radiotherapy and...
