During the process of transformation from a normal cell into a cancer cell, a cell acquires a series of changes, or mutations, in its DNA. In most cancers, the tumour evolves by acquiring mutations that confer growth advantages or resistance to therapies. This allows the cancer to evolve and develop resistance to the therapy.
