Purpose of Review Over the last two decades, the identification of targetable oncogene drivers has revolutionized the therapeutic landscape of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The extraordinary progresses made in molecular biology prompted the identification of several rare molecularly defined subgroups. In this review, we will focus on the novel and emerging actionable oncogenic drivers in NSCLC. Recent Findings Recently, novel oncogene drivers emerged as promising therapeutic targets…
