Background: The clinical impact of rare epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 insertion-deletion (19delins) variants on tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) efficacy remains poorly characterized. We updated 5-year outcomes to evaluate long-term survival and optimal treatment strategies in advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients harboring these mutations.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter prospective study, 36 treatment-naive advanced LUAD patients with EGFR 19delins mutations received first-generation (n = 26) or third-generation TKIs (n = 10).

: Gefitinib is a first-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) targeting EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is a current first-line treatment for NSCLC. However, acquired resistance leads to the failure of treatment and remains a challenge. Therefore, identifying novel therapeutic approaches to combat EGFR-TKI resistance is crucial.

Purpose: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) frequently harbors targetable EGFR mutations. However, rare variants such as EGFR L858M or L861R remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to elucidate the oncogenic potential and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sensitivity of the EGFR L858M/L861R mutation to inform personalized treatment strategies.

Compared to exon 19 deletions, the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 21 L858R (21L858R) mutation is associated with a poorer prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), particularly in patients with brain metastases (BMs). However, there is a notable lack of prospective or retrospective clinical studies focusing on this specific population. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of different first-line treatment strategies using EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in NSCLC patients harboring the 21L858R mutation and BMs while providing insights into concurrent mutations and resistance mechanisms.

Background: While perioperative immunotherapy and adjuvant targeted therapy have improved outcomes for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), evidence on preoperative targeted strategies remains limited. This study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy with or without chemotherapy in resectable EGFR-mutant NSCLC.

Methods: Consecutive patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC undergoing preoperative EGFR-TKI monotherapy or EGFR-TKI plus platinum-based chemotherapy followed by surgical resection were identified from three Chinese thoracic surgery prospectively maintained databases (2010-2023) from Peking University Cancer Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, and The Affiliated Hospital of Putian University.
