Conclusion:This comprehensive SLR indicates that uncommon mutations may comprise a clinically significant proportion of the EGFR mutations occurring in NSCLC worldwide. As there are apparent disparities in TKI-sensitivity between some of the most frequently reported uncommon mutations, assessment and reporting of outcomes by specific mutation type will prove invaluable in identifying the most appropriate treatment strategy in each case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
