Abstract

Clinical tools to accurately describe, evaluate, and predict an individual’s response to cancer therapy are a field-wide priority; in many advanced cancers, only 10–20% of individuals will have a clinical benefit from therapy, yet we treat the entire population. Furthermore, many therapies are initially effective, but lose effectiveness over time. Here we describe methods to derive in vitro models of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We additionally describe approaches to characterize possible mechanisms of resistance by genomic and transcriptomic approaches.
