The broad spectrum of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Treatment of a rare EGFR R776H mutation with Osimertinib: Case report
EGFR mutations comprise a sizeable portion of non-small cell lung cancers. While the most common EGFR mutation consists of exon 19 in-frame deletions and exon 21 point mutations, rare EGFR mutations have become a more frequent occurrence. Currently, no clinical guidelines exist for the treatment of...

Sumario: | EGFR mutations comprise a sizeable portion of non-small cell lung cancers. While the most common EGFR mutation consists of exon 19 in-frame deletions and exon 21 point mutations, rare EGFR mutations have become a more frequent occurrence. Currently, no clinical guidelines exist for the treatment of such mutations. In this case, we see a 68-year-old non-small cell lung cancer male patient with a history of smoking presenting with a rare exon 20 R776H EGFR mutation who demonstrates a response to Osimertinib, further exploring potential standard treatments for patients with rare EGFR mutations. |
