Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is less common than adenocarcinoma. The third-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, osimertinib, is effective in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma, but its efficacy in EGFR-mutated lung SCC is unclear. The patient was an 83-year-old male. He was diagnosed with SCC of the lung, and molecular analysis revealed that the tumor was...
