Bypassing cisplatin resistance in Nrf2 hyperactivated head and neck cancer through effective PI3Kinase targeting

Pedram Yadollahi, Kelli A. McCord, Li Yang…·Vlad Constantin Sandulache

This paper identifies PI3K pathway activation in Nrf2-driven cisplatin-resistant HNSCC and shows that gedatolisib inhibits tumor growth and re-sensitizes cells to cisplatin.
