秦闪闪, 常建华. The resistance mechanism and coping strategy of the third-generation EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC[J]. China Oncology, 2017, 27(11): 913-916. DOI: 10.19401/j.cnki.1007-3639.2017.11.013.
Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) targeted therapy has great advantages compared to conventional chemotherapies and has become the first-line treatment of EGFR sensitive mutations in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. However
the development of acquired drug resistance is inevitable. EGFR T790M mutation is the main mechanism of the first and second generation EGFR-TKIs. The thirdgeneration EGFR-TKIs including AZD9291 and CO-1686 showed favorable treatment effect in clinical trials. However
resistance problems appeared soon. This review summarized the resistance mechanisms of the third-generation EGFRTKIs and the potential coping strategy.
