EGFR Exon 20 Insertions
Description:
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. In NSCLC numerous hotspot mutations within the tyrosine kinase domain led to constitutive activation and oncogenesis. Unlike classical TKI sensitive mutations, exon 20 insertions (which account for ~5% of total) are resistant to 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation EGFR TKIs. However, newly approved targeted therapies options have recently become available and been shown to be effective therapeutic options when this variant type is present. The scientific background information, testing techniques, and clinical applications of this biomarker will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the molecular biology of EGFR exon 20 mutations.
- Identify technical challenges for the detection of EGFR exon 20 mutations.
- Explain the clinical relevance of EGFR exon 20 mutations.
