    In non-small cell lung cancer, 15% of tumors are mainly composed of EGFR-sensitive cells, and EGFR inhibitor treatment can kill these cells

    When doctors give a patient antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection, they usually ask the patient to complete the entire treatment, even if the symptoms have disappeared


    Approximately 15% of non-small cell lung cancers have a mutation in the growth receptor EGFR, which causes tumor cells to grow uncontrollably


    Sordella and her team found that before treatment, a small percentage of drug-resistant cancer cells already existed


    Sordella and her team collaborated with Northwell Health Center clinician and former CSHL professor Gregory Hannon, who now works at the Cancer Institute in Cambridge, UK


    Sordella explained: “The genome is like a library


    Researchers discovered that a microRNA called miR335 determines the "state" of cancer cells


    Understanding how drug resistance occurs in lung cancer is the key to finding the elimination of tumors
