Abstract excerpt
The two most common and mutually exclusive driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer affect EGFR and KRAS oncogenes. While EGFR mutations typically arise in non-smokers and are correlated with non-inflamed tumor microenvironment, KRAS mutations are associated with tobacco smoking, high mutational burden, and immunologically more active tumors. Consequently, current cancer immunotherapies have failed in...
