Abstract

Background/Aim: Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) harboring uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are heterogeneous and show variable prevalence and clinical responses to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We investigated the characteristics of uncommon EGFR mutations and the clinical efficacy of afatinib in patients with NSCLC harboring uncommon EGFR mutations. Patients and Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective study, we analyzed patients with NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations in 16 South Korean institutes.
