Study led by Zhijian Qian points to strategy to overcome lung cancer drug resistance – UF Health Cancer Center

UF Health Cancer Center shared a post on LinkedIn:

“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.

Read more in our latest research snapshot.”
