Mutations in RAS oncogenes and related pathways are frequent in lung cancers. Here, the authors derive a RAS gene expression signature and a machine learning classifier to predict drug response and clinical outcomes in lung adenocarcinoma and other solid tumours, with improved performance over KRAS mutations alone.
