Tracking EGFR Mutant Resistance in a Large Cell Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Lung with Activating and Resistance EGFR Mutations Treated with Erlotinib-A Case Report and Literature Review
Abstract:In recent years, limited reports of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine tumors have implicated potential therapeutic targets in a tumor which has historically been treated with platinum based chemotherapy. We report partial response in metastatic large cell neuroendocrine tumor with an EGFR mutation. Moreover, targeted next generation sequencing analysis upon disease progression identified possible resistance pathways in EGFR and PIK3CA which parallels observations… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
