Kinase inhibition–based therapies are recommended for a small subset of LC patients with driver mutations. Through enabling technologies and bioinformatics, we demonstrate the potential of KI‐based therapies based on the patient specific needs. Thus, most LC patients become eligible for such treatment algorithms.
