The identification of novel therapeutic strategies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is essential as the outcome of most of these patients is poor. Here the authors provide a proof-of concept that specific low-dose drug combinations can disrupt intercellular crosstalk to overcome drug resistance in NSCLC patient-derived xenografts.
