A tissue-microarray of 150 tumors and panel of 13 NSCLC adenocarcinoma cell line panel were screened….Consistently, low CDCA3 expression (H-score < median) correlated with emergence of TKI resistance (p < 0.01) and in a panel of EGFRmut cell lines, CDCA3low cell lines demonstrated significantly reduced potency for erlotinib and Osimertinib (p = 0.018).
