ALK-independent ‘bypass’ mechanisms of resistance to ALK TKIs. The effects of inhibited ALK activity are substituted by the upregulation of alternative signalling cascades that activate the same downstream targets as does aberrantly active ALK. The need for ALK is effectively bypassed. Mutations in the downstream targets of ALK, indicated with a lightning symbol, also bypass the need for ALK.
