“UF Health Cancer Center researchers have discovered a crucial mechanism by which a common gene mutation leads to chemotherapy resistance in non-small cell lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer that presents a major burden in North Central Florida.
Led by Zhijian Qian, Ph.D., the Pierre Chagnon Professor of Cancer Research in the University of Florida College of Medicine, the findings suggest a novel therapeutic strategy involving drug inhibitors to reverse chemotherapy resistance.
The findings were published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
