摘要: The adenocarcinoma of the lung has recently shown peculiar molecular characteristics, which relate with both carcinogenesis and response to targeted drugs. Several alterations have been defined as "driver mutations". These are responsible for initiation maintenance malignancy. epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway is main regulator cell function cancer development. It a widely role in occurrence driver mutations. Up till now EGFR gene mutations, KRAS mutations EML4-ALK fusion genes most recognized involved biology clinical management adenocarcinoma. In this review we report bases that led application detection such genetic impairments. Subsequently discuss studies regarding prognostic predictive value anti-EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) same We also provide potential algorithm guide choice best treatment patients
