ABSTRACT: Background
Clinical significance of various subtypes of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletion (ex19del) mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear.Methods
We analyzed EGFR ex19del subtypes in NSCLC patients receiving first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy at our center (January 2018-June 2022) and correlated them with median progression-free survival (mPFS) and median overall survival (mOS).Results
We identified 17 different EGFR ex19del variants in 101 patients. Between the classic (E746_A750del, 64.4%) and nonclassic groups (the rest variants), no significant difference was observed in mPFS (13.5 vs. 19.3 months, p = 0.18) or mOS (44.1 vs. 77.0 months, p = 0.06). mPFS showed no significant difference between ex19d
