Article Abstract
The discovery of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations has greatly changed the clinical outlook for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Unlike the most common EGFR mutations, such as exon 19 deletion (del19) and exon 21 L858R point mutation, EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation (EGFR ex20ins) is a rare mutation of EGFR. Due to its structural specificity, it exhibits primary resistance to traditional epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), leading to poor overall survival prognosis for patients. In recent years, there has been continuous progress in the development of new drugs targeting EGFR ex20ins, bringing new hope for the treatment of this patient population. In this regard, we conducted a systematic review of the molecular characteristics, diagnostic advances, and treatment status of EGFR ex20ins. We summarized the latest data on relevant drug development and clinical research, aiming to provide reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and drug development.

Objectives: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with poor prognosis, with 30% of patients diagnosed at an advanced stage. Mutations in the and genes are important prognostic factors for NSCLC, and targeted therapies can significantly improve survival in these patients. Although tissue biopsy remains the gold standard for detecting gene mutations, it has limitations, including invasiveness, sampling errors due to tumor heterogeneity, and poor reproducibility.

Introduction: The incidence of brain metastases in patients diagnosed with ad-vanced lung cancer is high, drawing significant attention to the risk factors associated with this progression.
Methods: A total of 252 advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with brain metastases were enrolled in this study between July 2018 and December 2023 from our hos-pital. Additionally, driver genes, including EGFR, ALK, ROS1, KRAS, and RET, were doc-umented.

With the advancements of next-generation sequencing, publicly available pharmacogenomic datasets from cancer cell lines provide a handle for developing predictive models of drug responses and identifying associated biomarkers. However, many currently available predictive models are often just used as black boxes, lacking meaningful biological interpretations. In this study, we made use of open-source drug response data from cancer cell lines, in conjunction with KEGG pathway information, to develop sparse neural networks, K-net, enabling the prediction of drug response in EGFR signaling pathways and the identification of key biomarkers.

Objectives: Although radiologic ground-glass opacity (GGO) components are associated with favorable prognosis, limited evidence supports the prognostic significance of corresponding histologic lepidic components. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of lepidic components in patients with surgically resected invasive non-mucinous lung adenocarcinoma at pathologic (p-) stages I to IIIA.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 352 patients who underwent resection for invasive non-mucinous adenocarcinoma between 2012 and 2016.
