Understanding the early evolution of cancer heterogeneity during the initial steps of tumorigenesis can uncover vulnerabilities of cancer cells that may be masked at later stages. We describe a comprehensive approach employing gene expression analysis in early lesions to identify novel therapeutic targets and the use of mouse models to test synthetic lethal drug combinations to treat human Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS)-driven lung adenocarcinoma.
