摘要: Among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR mutations, 90% of which present as an exon 19 deletion or 21 point mutation L858R, have been detected in Western and Asian populations at a rate ~15% ~40%, respectively. To date, numerous trials established the efficacy toxicity profile singleagent oral EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies for EGFR-TKI-naive NSCLC harboring mutations. These include IPASS gefitinib (1), Optimal erlotinib (2), LUX-Lung 3 afatinib (3). Still, majority will eventually develop resistance.
