Abstract excerpt
Antibodies to programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), such as nivolumab, have shown promising clinical activity in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their efficacy appears to be less pronounced in patients with such tumors harboring epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) mutations. Recent findings suggest that patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC who develop resistance to tyrosine...
