Abstract excerpt
The 3rd generation epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs; e.g., AZD9291), which selectively and irreversibly inhibit EGFR activating and T790M mutants, represent very promising therapeutic options for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has become resistant to 1st generation EGFR-TKIs due to T790M mutation. However, eventual resistance to the 3rd generation...
