Blocking cancer genomic instability may prevent tumor diversification and escape from therapies. We show that, after MAPK inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy in patients mice bearing patient-derived xenografts (PDX), acquired resistant genomes of metastatic cutaneous melanoma specifically amplify resistance-driver, nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes via complex rearrangements (CGR) extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNA). Almost all sensitive acquired-resistant harbor...
