“…23 In addition, MET and HER2 amplification and over-expression (which create resistance by bypassing the EGFR signaling pathway) were seen in 15% to 20% of cases of resistance in one series, 9,12 another series reported resistance due to MET amplification in 3% of the cases, and due to HER2 amplification in 13% of the cases. [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] These cases were observed to retain their original EGFR mutation, three cases developed an addition mutation in Thr790Met of EGFR Exon 20, 30,31 whereas two cases harbored an addition PIK3CA mutation. Immunocytochemistry stains for Synaptophysin (d) and CD56 (e) were positive, supporting the diagnosis of small cell carcinoma [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com] carcinoma transformation, 5,12,13,[16][17][18] or squamous cell transformation.…”
