RAS is one of the most frequently altered oncogenes, yet RAS-driven tumors are largely refractory to anticancer therapies. Fedele and colleagues demonstrate that SHP2 inhibitors prevent adaptive MEK inhibitor resistance; therefore, combining MEK and SHP2 inhibitors represents an exciting new therapeutic approach for the treatment of RAS-driven cancers.
