Abstract excerpt
Approximately 4% of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present EGFR exon 20 in-frame insertions, accounting for 0.3 %-3.7 % of NSCLC. In addition, 2 %-4 % of patients with NSCLC harbor human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 gene (HER2) mutations, being the 90 % of them exon 20 insertions. These mutations confer intrinsic resistance to available EGFR tyrosine...
