N2 - The practice of precision medicine for patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly those patients with adenocarcinoma histology (the predominant subtype of NSCLC), has become the accepted standard of care worldwide. Implementation of prospective tumor molecular profiling and rational therapeutic decision-making based on the presence of recurrently detected oncogenic "driver" alterations in the tumor genome has revolutionized the way that lung cancer is diagnosed and treated in the clinic. Over the past two decades, there has been a deluge of therapeutically actionable driver alterations and accompanying small molecule inhibitors to target these drivers. Herein, we synthesize a large and rapidly growing body of literature regarding therapeutic inhibition of driver mutations. We focus on established targets, including EGFR, anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), ROS1, BRAF, RET, MET, HER2, and neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK), with a particular emphasis on the sequencing of small molecule inhibitors in these genetically defined cohorts of patients with lung cancer.
