Abstract:Chromosome instability, or CIN, defined as a high frequency of whole chromosome gains and losses, is prevalent in many solid tumors. CIN has been shown to promote intra-tumor heterogeneity and correspond with tumor aggressiveness, drug resistance and tumor relapse. However, whether CIN promotes the acquisition of genomic changes responsible for drug resistance remain unclear. Here we assess the role of CIN in the acquisition of drug resistance in non small cell lung cancer. We show that impairment of centromer… Show more
