Abstract

Background: Adenocarinomas frequently adopt mesenchymal properties to become metastatic, aggressive and drug-resistant. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, is a well-understood cancer type to utilize an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to acquire drug resistance in preclinical models. This is particularly applicable in resistance to EGFR inhibitors (e.g. osimertinib) in EGFR+ NSCLC, where resistance has been linked to EMT and increased AXL expression, a known driver of the mesenchymal phenotype.
