Abstract excerpt
Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is increasingly being treated with targeted therapies. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been extensively studied in NSCLC as an oncogenic driver. However, the efficacy of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is adversely impacted by the development of resistance. The occurrence of de novo resistance to EGFR TKIs is attributed to multiple mechanisms such as point...
