The success of targeted therapies in cancer treatment has been impeded by various
mechanisms of resistance. Besides the acquisition of resistance-conferring genetic …

Lung cancer is a major global health problem, as it is the leading cause of cancer-related
deaths worldwide. Major advances in the identification of key mutational alterations have led …

It is well established that multifactorial drug resistance hinders successful cancer treatment.
Tumor cell interactions with the tumor microenvironment (TME) are crucial in epithelial …

Persistent cancer cells are the discrete and usually undetected cells that survive cancer drug
treatment and constitute a major cause of treatment failure. These cells are characterized by …

Aberrant signalling of ERBB family members plays an important role in tumorigenesis and in

identified in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), coupled with the increasing number of …

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors were found to be clinically effective for treatment of patients with
certain subsets of cancers carrying somatic mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases. However …

The role of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in metastasis is a longstanding
source of debate, largely owing to an inability to monitor transient and reversible EMT …
