Luke Dow: The Complexity of Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer

Luke Dow, Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Second day in a row of KRAS inhibitor resistance papers! This time we worked backward from clinical data to reveal the complexity of drug resistance in colorectal cancer.

In collaboration with Rona Yaeger at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Salvador Alonso Martinez, Kevan Chu and others in our lab at Weill Cornell Medicine identified multiple, often co-existing modes of resistance to KRASi/EGFRi combination therapy. As part of this analysis, we identified a tumor cell-intrinsic inflammatory transcriptional response that when dampened, enhances the efficacy of KRAS inhibition.

We are continuing to explore this phenomenon and ways to short circuit triggers of therapy resistance.”
