Circulating tumour DNA profiling reveals heterogeneity of EGFR inhibitor resistance mechanisms in lung cancer patients

EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer is routinely treated with EGFR inhibitors, although resistance inevitably develops. Here, the authors sequence circulating tumour DNA and show that resistance to the third-generation inhibitor rociletinib is heterogeneous and recurrently involves somatic altera...
