AXL confers intrinsic resistance to osimertinib and advances the emergence of tolerant cells

Resistance to the new generation EGFR-TKI, Osimertinib, can emerge in patients with EGFR-mutated lung cancer. Here, the authors show that AXL, which is activated by osimertinib, can promote the emergence of tolerant lung cancer cell thus conferring resistance to osimertinib and propose the combinati...
