چکیده

Nowadays, EGFR TKIs (epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors) targeted therapy is well established treatment for patients with the so-called EGFR common mutations with advanced or metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer. The efficacy for the so-called rare and especially for the very rare complex EGFR mutations is not clear. We describe a case of a 63- year-old female with metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer with complex EGFR mutation (G719X + S768I) who had been treated by gefitinib. She achieved progression free survival within eight months. Then, we discuss our case with other literature case reports. Together, it seems that described complex EGFR mutation has a relatively good sensitivity for EGFR TKIs treatment.Key words: nonsmall cell lung cancer -  EGFR gene -  EGFR protein -  complex mutations -  rare EGFR mutations -  EGFR TKIs.

Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Gene Mutation Analysis in Adenocarcinoma of Lung, the First Report from Iran

Background and Objective: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation, especially in exons 18 to 21, is an important predictor of the response rate of lung adenocarcinoma to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. There are variable reports from Asian and European countries, as well as North America, about the frequency of the EGFR mutation in lung adenocarcinoma, yet molecular s...

بررسی رابطه پلیمورفیسم در جایگاه اتصال miR-214 در ژن EGFR با سرطان ریه

Background and Aim: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths wordwide and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), especially adenocarcinoma, is the most common type of lung cancer. Most cases of adenocarcinoma will occur due to KRAS mutations or EGFR mutations and amplifications. The polymorphism rs884225 which is associated with increased EGFR expression is located in the 3'UT...

New EGFR-TKI: a case report of recurrent lung adenocarcinoma successfully treated with icotinib.

Icotinib is a new oral epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). We report on a 49-year-old man with recurrent lung adenocarcinoma treated with icotinib. The patient obtained a partial remission in 4 weeks that was maintained 14 months. Retrospective examination of EGFR mutations confirmed he had a sensitive mutation (exon 19 deletion). This case supports that ico...

Acquired resistance L747S mutation in an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor-naïve patient: A report of three cases

The purpose of the present study was to report cases of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-naïve patients carrying a mutation associated with acquired resistance to the drug. Gene alterations in 77 lung carcinoma patients were analyzed by collecting and studying curette lavage fluid at the time of diagnosis. PCRs were performed to amplify mutation hotspot regi...

Lung adenocarcinoma harboring L858R and T790M mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor, with poor response to gefitinib: A case report

Lung cancer is the leading cause of mortality among malignant diseases in humans worldwide. During the last decade, molecular targeted therapies for non-small cell lung cancer using first-generation, reversible epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including gefitinib, have been shown to be a promising approach for patients harboring activating mutations in ...
