摘要: Abstract Background Although activating epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutations are excellent predictors of gefitinib outcome in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), most patients become resistant to gefitinib. Despite our knowledge the molecular basis acquired resistance, clinical have not been well elucidated. This study was undertaken evaluate with NSCLC and treated Patients Methods A total 170 received as a first-line (n = 50) second-line or more 120) treatment at Seoul National University Hospital. Treatment outcomes were compared between groups based on clinicopathologic factors, such line, metastatic site, mutation subtype. Results Survival similar greater (overall response rate, 2 P .832; progression-free survival [PFS], .373; overall [OS], .290). When number sites least 3, significantly reduced observed (median PFS 8.5 vs. 14.0 months, .002). In addition, presence 3 organs metastases an independent predictor (hazard ratio [HR] 1.97 [95% CI, 1.37-2.85]; .010). who failed respond within 6 months had lymph node metastasis than those responded later. Conclusions Tumor burden, expressed sites, is predictive inferior
