Notch3-dependent β-catenin signaling mediates EGFR TKI drug persistence in EGFR mutant NSCLC

Treatment of EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) often develops resistance to EGFR TKIs. In this study, the authors discover a non-canonical activation of β-catenin signaling through Notch3 as a mechanism of adaptation to and resistance to EGFR TKI treatment in NSCLC.
