		Abstract
In the original language
Background: Erlotinib, gefitinib and afatinib, tyrosine kinase inhibitors directed at EGFR signalling (EGFR-TKI), are currently used for the treatment of patients with advancedstage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A considerable progress in the field of molecular oncology and cancer genomics in recent years has let to identification of several gene alterations predicting clinical outcome of patients treated with EGFR-TKIs. Activating EGFR mutations are widely recognized predictors of good response to EGFR-TKI treatment. While the predictive role of common EGFR mutations (exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R point mutation) is well described, very little clinical evidence data exist on the role of rare EGFR mutation types. The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of common and rare EGFR mutations in patients with NSCLC and to evaluate the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs for patients harboring rare and common EGFR mutations. Conclusion: While patients with frequent EGFR sensitive mutations have significant benefit from gefitinib therapy, patients with G719X mutation on exon 18 have marginal PFS and OS benefit, while pagtients with exon 20 insertion mutations have no demonstrable benefit from targeted therapy.Next generation tyrosinkinase inhibitors may prolong survival in some of rare EGFR mutated tumour patients.
