Resistance to EGFR blockade in colorectal cancer: liquid biopsies and latent subclones.

| Abstract | Two recent papers identify KRAS activation as a mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR blockade in colorectal cancer. In doing so, they suggest that resistance to single-agent EGFR blockade will be unavoidable because these alterations exist as latent subclones within the tumor even prior to the initiation of therapy. |
