Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients demonstrating sensitizing oncogenic driver mutations have derived clinical benefit from targeted therapy. EGFR mutations constitutively activate the signaling pathway, leading to prosurvival and antiapoptotic signals. Classic sensitizing EGFR mutations, such as exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R point mutations, respond well to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). On the other hand, EGFR exon 20 in-frame insertions are observed in 4-12% of EGFR-mutated ...[more]
