Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: T790M, a secondary epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, accounts for approximately 50% of acquired resistance to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). To facilitate the use of third-generation EGFR-TKIs to potentially overcome T790M-mediated resistance, we evaluated the clinical factors influencing the incidence of T790M mutation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively screened...
