Description
Most non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors with activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are initially responsive to first-generation, reversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as gefitinib, but they subsequently develop resistance to these drugs through either acquisition of an additional T790M mutation of EGFR or amplification of the proto-oncogene MET.
