Popis: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of tumor samples and circulating tumor DNA has revolutionized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in lung cancer. The identification of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) oncogenic driver has translated into successful therapy of advanced lung cancer using EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Unfortunately, responses are limited by acquired mechanisms of resistance. We review herein the current landscape of acquired resistance mechanisms to EGFR-TKI therapy and recent advances in therapeutic strategies to overcome acquired resistance.
