More than 50 years later, this foundational principle — in which biologic rationale is used to guide the choice of treatment combinations — is being applied to the leading cause of cancer-related deaths: lung cancer. Today, genomic profiling, targeted agents, and strategies informed by resistance mechanisms are reshaping care for epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR)–mutated non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
