Awakening of "Schlafen11" to Tackle Chemotherapy Resistance in SCLC.

Abstract

Chemotherapy resistance arises invariably in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). In this issue of Cancer Cell, Gardner et al. find that in some SCLC, EZH2 mediates resistance via downregulation of Schlafen11 (SLFN11). Combining EZH2 inhibition with chemotherapy effectively overcomes drug resistance of xenografted SCLC, holding promise for new treatment paradigms.
