Abstract
The emergence of acquired resistance to standard platinum-etoposide chemotherapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a common event. Here, the authors using paired pre-treatment and post-chemotherapy circulating tumour cell patient-derived explant (CDX) models reveal a mechanism of drug resistance in SCLC mediated by Notch and nitric oxide activation of soluble guanylate cyclase signalling.
