After her death, an autopsy revealed SCLC transformation and EGFR T790M secondary mutation (T790M) as mutually exclusive resistance mechanisms occurring differently in different metastases; two liver metastases (SCLC versus AC with T790M) and two lymph node metastases (SCLC versus AC with T790M) were analyzed to compare the expression status of immune markers by immunohistochemistry and by an immune oncology gene expression panel.
Osimertinib is an oral, highly selective, irreversible inhibitor of both EGFR-activating mutations and the T790M-resistance mutation, while sparing the activity of wild-type EGFR This article reviews clinical trial development of osimertinib in patients with NSCLC, presenting efficacy and safety evidence for its value in the EGFR T790M mutation-positive population and in different settings, including patients with metastatic disease.
The application of real-time PCR technique to detect rare cell clones with primary T790M Substitution of EGFR gene in metastases of non-small cell lung cancer to central nervous system in chemotherapy naive patients.
: Our results imply that blockade of the TGF-β signaling pathway combined with continuous EGFR TKI treatment will be beneficial in preventing metastasis in patients with EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC without the EGFR T790M resistance mutation.
