Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are standard treatments for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutations, but resistance inevitably develops. While resistance mechanisms in classical mutations are well studied, those in nonclassical mutations remain unclear. As a widely used EGFR-TKI, afatinib's resistance mechanisms in nonclassical mutations warrant...
