Glioma Specific Extracellular Missense Mutations in the First Cysteine Rich Region of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Initiate Ligand Independent Activation.
Intense expression of L858R in the MP component was suggested, and the MP+ patients harboring L858R were at comparatively higher risk of recurrence in the group with pN0M0 lung adenocarcinoma.

Our study suggested the intratumoral heterogeneity of EGFR-activating mutations in lung adenocarcinoma confirmed on the single-cell level, which might be associated with EGFR-TKIs response in lung adenocarcinoma patients harboring the EGFR L858R mutation.
ctDNA of EGFR-TKI sensitizing mutations (mEGFR), L858R substitution and Exon 19 deletion (E19d) mutation, was evaluated using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in 81 patients with lung adenocarcinoma which harbored mEGFR in the corresponding tumor tissues.
Clinicopathologic information was analyzed and EGFR mutation results were performed in initial biopsy samples.Seven patients showed transformation from ADC to SCLC, of which 6 patients were 19 del EGFR mutation, only 1 patient is L858R mutations.
A 55-year-old female with EGFR mutation (L858R) was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma, who was responsive to first-generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).
Patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma with membranous mutant EGFR (19del or 21 L858R) showed significantly longer progression-free survival than those with cytoplasmic mutant EGFR after gefitinib treatment.
