Resistance to antiangiogenic therapies in cancer involves both tumor cells and stromal
components, but their relative contributions differ in each cancer subtype. In this issue of the
JCI, Cascone et al. describe a stromal adaptation to antiangiogenic therapy in non–small
cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) models that include EGFR-driven vascular remodeling
promoting resistance to VEGF inhibition. Their results suggest that the added benefit of dual
VEGF/R and EGFR targeting in these models could be clinically relevant to fight resistance …
