Identification of the genomic drivers of cancer has led to the clinical development of targeted therapies that strike at the heart of many malignancies. Nonetheless, many cancers outsmart such precision-medicine efforts, and thus therapeutic resistance contributes significantly to cancer mortality. Attempts to understand the basis for resistance in patient samples and laboratory models has yielded two major benefits: one, more effective chemical inhibitors and rational combination therapies are now employed to prevent or circumvent resistance pathways; and two, our understanding of how oncogenic mutations drive cancer cell survival and oncogene addiction is deeper and broader, highlighting downstream or parallel cellular programs that shape these phenotypes. This review discusses emerging principles of resistance to therapies targeted against key oncogenic drivers.
