Abstract excerpt
The C797S mutation encoded by EGFR exon 20 is classically observed as a tertiary event in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) primarily treated by first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and secondarily treated by third-generation TKI, such as osimertinib, if the EGFR-T790M resistance mutation is detected. Recently, significant prolonged progression free survival has been observed...
