Furthermore, it has also been reported that the formation of EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer DTCs depends on the YAP-TEAD complex (76) that is activated to form a complex with the EMT-associated transcription factor SLUG, which inhibits the apoptotic pathway and therefore induces cells to enter a senescence-like state (45). Here, EGFR is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
