Published: January 2015

We report two cases of non-smoker patients diagnosed with EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma and bearing germinal TP53 gene mutation, also known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS). We describe for the first time an EGFR-TKI resistance mutation in this population. Finally, we provide an analysis of discerning epidemiological data obtained from the IARC database and from all the published cases of EGFR-mutated lung cancer in TP53 germline mutation carriers.
