174 Poster - Dissecting the landscape of CAF-mediated drug resistance mechanisms in ALK-rearranged NSCLC

Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are predominant stromal cells associated with cancer development and drug resistance. Due to the complexity of the crosstalk between CAFs and cancer cells, the underlying mechanism often remains elusive. Here, we aim to elucidate the complex, bidirectional signaling network that governs CAF-mediated resistance to targeted drugs in EML4-ALK-rearranged non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells.
