Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: With the recent advancements in molecular biology research, epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have emerged as excellent therapies for patients with EGFR-mutant cancers. However, these patients inevitably develop cross-acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs. Transformation to small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is considered a rare resistance mechanism against EGFR-TKI therapy....
