Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The presence of drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells reduces the effectiveness of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although autophagy is a potential target for eliminating DTP cells, clinical trials targeting autophagy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC have been unsuccessful-likely because most trials have utilized...
