Molecular evolution of resistance to treatment:

acquired during therapy?

Already present in a clonal subpopulation within the

tumours

prior

to the initiation of therapy?

Is resistance is therefore a fait accompli—the time to recurrence

is simply the interval required for the subclone to repopulate the

lesion.?

Is the short time interval of recurrence due to the rapid

expansion of the resistant subclone immediately following

treatment initiation?

Required:

Combination therapies targeting at least two different pathways -

processes.
