Abstract:Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations benefit from targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Nevertheless, 50-70% of patients will experience progressive disease during TKI therapy, and nearly half will develop resistance mutations such as T790M, for which a third-generation TKI has been developed and proven to be highly effective. One of the most common sites of metastasis in patients with NSCLC is the central nervous system… Show more
