Deskripsi

Fusion genes have been proposed as a potential mechanism of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in lung cancer. Here, the authors identify gene fusions that are associated with resistance to EGFR TKIs in non-small cell lung cancers, and test how these fusions impact the response to EGFR TKIs in vitro.
