Abstract: | A combination of in vitro and in vivo models with validation in human tumors has identified AXL activation as a new mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer. The identification of this mechanism, alongside the current development of specific AXL inhibitors, provides the rationale for further studies that may improve treatment for EGFR inhibitor-resistant patients. |
