Nicotine Induces Resistance to Erlotinib Therapy in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells Treated with Serum from Human Patients

Previously, we reported that nicotine reduces erlotinib sensitivity in a xenograft model of PC9, an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-sensitive non-small-cell lung cancer cell line. The present study examined whether smoking induces erlotinib resistance in vitro....
