Methods and Compositions for Modulating Lung Cancer Tumor Initiating Cells (TIC), and Oxytocin Receptor (OXTR) Modulatory Agents for Use in Practicing the Same
Methods of modulating lung cancer, e.g., squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC), tumor initiating cells (TIC) are provided. Aspects of the methods including contacting a TIC with an OXTR modulatory agent, e.g., an inhibitory agent, in a manner sufficient to modulate the TIC. Aspects of the invention further include compositions that find use in practicing methods of the method. The methods and compositions find use in a variety of different applications, including but not limited to the treatment of SQCC.
