In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zhang et al. show that dual KRAS-EGFR inhibition induces a reversible Paneth-like transition in colorectal cancer, sustaining mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) reactivation through a SMAD1-FGFR3 axis. This reinforces emerging evidence that lineage remodeling underlies early adaptive escape from targeted therapy and carries potential clinical relevance.

Abstract

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Zhang et al. show that dual KRAS-EGFR inhibition induces a reversible Paneth-like transition in colorectal cancer, sustaining mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) reactivation through a SMAD1-FGFR3 axis. This reinforces emerging evidence that lineage remodeling underlies early adaptive escape from targeted therapy and carries potential clinical relevance.
