Looking beyond traditional oncogenic pathways to break cancer resistance

Drug Target Review

Most targeted cancer therapies used today operate by inhibiting targets along well-known oncogenic signalling cascades. The reactivation of oncogenic signalling upstream or downstream of the driving oncogene is a well-studied source of resistance to targeted cancer therapies.
