The chemotherapy resistance of esophageal adenocarcinomas (EACs) is underpinned by cancer cell extrinsic mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment (TME). We demonstrate that, by targeting the tumor-promoting functions of the predominant TME cell type, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), we can enhance the efficacy of standard-of-care chemotherapy. In ex vivo conditions, PDE5i prevent the transdifferentiation of normal fibroblasts to CAF and abolish the tumor-promoting function of established EAC CAFs. Using shotgun proteomics and single-cell RNA-seq, we reveal PDE5i-specific regulation of pathways related to fibroblast activation and tumor promotion. Finally, we confirm the efficacy of PDE5i in combination with chemotherapy in close-to-patient and in vivo PDX-based model systems. These findings demonstrate that CAFs drive chemotherapy resistance in EACs and can be targeted by repurposing PDE5i, a safe and well-tolerated class of drug administered to millions of patients world-wide to treat erectile dysfunction. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) drive EAC resistance Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) target the tumor-promoting function of CAFs PDE5i enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in 3D-tumor models of EAC A randomized trial of PDE5i with chemotherapy in esophageal cancer is now required Resistance to standard-of-care chemotherapy in esophageal adenocarcinoma is dependent on cancer cell extrinsic mechanisms of the tumor microenvironment. Sharpe et al. show that repurposing PDE5 inhibitors to target the tumor-promoting function of cancer-associated fibroblasts enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy in 3D-tumor models
