The availability of targeted therapies for molecular aberrations have substantially improved the outcomes of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring sensitive mutations. However, patients harboring uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations such as G719X and L861Q often resulted in a lack of response to the first and third generation of EGFR TKIs. In this study, we reported a 64-year-old female patient, who initially presented with symptoms of pneumonia and showed positive response to anti-infection treatment, eventually diagnosed with stage Ⅳ lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) harboring a rare EGFR G719X and L861Q compound mutations. The patient received 40 mg/day of afatinib and experienced no severe adverse events. As a result, partial response (PR) was observed based on CT scan and a progression free survival of 24 month was achieved. Her follow-up is still ongoing. The results of the present case support the effectiveness and safety of afatinib in LUAD patients carrying EGFR G719X and L861Q compound mutations.

Background: Uncommon EGFR mutations are a kind of heterogeneous group of mutations with various responses to EGFR-TKIs and are often excluded from most prospective clinical trials. In this real-world retrospective study, we retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy or various generations of EGFR-TKIs as first-line therapy in NSCLC Chinese patients harboring non-ex 20 ins uncommon EGFR mutations.
Methods: We enrolled 139 NSCLC patients with non-ex 20 ins uncommon EGFR mutations in this study retrospectively.

Introduction: Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is a first-line therapy for advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR mutations, including both sensitizing and T790M resistance mutations. Its real-world efficacy against uncommon EGFR mutations remains under-researched.
Methods: The REIWA study, a multicentric, prospective, observational study conducted in Japan from September 2018 to August 2020, enrolled patients with advanced or recurrent EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC receiving osimertinib.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents over 80% of lung cancer cases and has a high mortality worldwide, however, targeting common epidermal growth-factor receptor (EGFR) alterations (i.e., del19, L858R) has provided a paradigm shift in the treatment of NSCLC.

Purpose: To investigate the efficiency and safety of afatinib in combination with bevacizumab in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) G719X, S768I, and L861Q mutations.
Patients And Methods: We retrospective studied treatment naïve patients with local advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR G719X, S768I, and L861Q mutations from January 2017 to August 2021. EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) were the first-line treatment in all patients.
