By modeling acquired resistance to the EGFR antibody cetuximab in metastatic colorectal cancer, the authors identify a new mutation in the ectodomain of the receptor. The mutation is present in patient tumors after cetuximab therapy, confirming that it represents a clinically-relevant mechanism for therapy resistance. Moreover, the mutation does no...
