Kelsey Pan: Happy to share our analysis of NSCLC patients with germline EGFR mutations

Kelsey Pan, Heme/Onc Chief Fellow at MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post by Stephen V Liu, on X:

“Happy to share our institutional analysis of NSCLC patients with germline EGFR mutations in JTO and JTO CRR with Xiuning Le.

Majority Caucasian, non-smoking, females, with family history of lung cancer
21/22 with ‘second-hit’ EGFR somatic co-mutation (L858R in 50%). Tp53 co-mutation in 50%
Small multifocal ground glass nodules (73%)
Similar response to Osimertinib as somatic EGFRm population.“

Quoting Stephen V Liu‘s post:

“Description of NSCLC with germline EGFR mutations (mostly T790M) from Dr. Kelsey Pan JTO and JTO CRR (n=22). 86% female, 82% no smoking history, 59% +family history, 73% with multifocal ground glass pulmonary nodules. Respond as expected to osimertinib.”
