Resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy is often accompanied by various genetic alterations, and radiation is an important weapon for changing the DNA of tumor cells. In radiotherapy combined with TKI therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the two treatment strategies affect and interact with each other, resulting in complex tumor resistance mechanisms. Accordingly, tumor progression management after radiotherapy combined with TKI therapy should be different from that after TKI therapy alone. However, current clinical practice is entirely based on the resistance mechanisms of simple TKI therapy. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate the impact of radiation on the mechanism of TKI resistance. However, due to the complexity of the resistance mechanisms under the combined effect of both therapies, such studies remain extremely challenging and time-consuming.
