The emergence of T790M mutation in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients having a history of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI: focus on rebiopsy timing and long-term existence of T790M.

Abstract excerpt

Different growth kinetics occurring between the sensitive and T790M-containing cells may result in the repopulation of tumor cells over time. Little information has yet been uncovered on whether rebiopsy timing influences the T790M detection rate. We enrolled a total of 98 epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients, who had a history of acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase...
