Acquired Resistance to Therapy Network (ARTNet)

Representative image for ARTNet, which focuses on the mechanistic bases of acquired resistance to cancer therapies and disease recurrence.

ARTNet (funded through RFA-CA-21-052/RFA-CA-21-053 by DCB and the NCI Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis) focuses on the mechanistic bases of acquired resistance to cancer therapies and disease recurrence.

Its central goal is to balance basic, pre-clinical, and translational research using an iterative team science structure that will enable hypothesis testing on the biological basis of resistance in clinically relevant model systems.

ARTNet also aims to provide evidence along the shared tumor-tumor microenvironment (TME) continuum to inform new strategies that can be better translated into future clinical trials.

Collectively, the network represents a range of treatment modalities (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation, targeted agents, immunotherapies, combined modalities) and cancer types in pursuit of addressing compelling questions and significant barriers in acquired therapy resistance research.
