Abstract excerpt
Mutation in the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) gene drives the development of lung cancer. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR TKIs), including erlotinib and afatinib, are initially effective in treating EGFR mutant nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, drug resistance quickly develops due to several mechanisms, including induction of the epithelial-mesenchymal...
