Sakditad Saowapa, Oncologist at UI Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on X about a paper by Jing Zhao et al. published in the Nature:
“EGFR TKI Resistance in NSCLC — Key Mechanisms
Primary resistance
- Often from uncommon EGFR mutations (e.g., ex20ins)
- Or baseline MET/HER2 amp co-alterations
Acquired resistance
- ~50% = no identifiable mechanism
- Others fall into on-target, off-target, or biological transformation․”
