Acquired Resistance of Lung Adenocarcinomas to Gefitinib or Erlotinib Is Associated with a Second Mutation in the EGFR Kinase Domain

TL;DR: Biochemical analyses of transfected cells and growth inhibition studies with lung cancer cell lines demonstrate that the T790M mutation confers resistance to EGFR mutants usually sensitive to either gefitinib or erlotinib, which should help guide the search for more effective therapy against a specific subset of lung cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comprehensive genomic characterization of squamous cell lung cancers

Peter S. Hammerman, +345 more
- 27 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that the tumour type is characterized by complex genomic alterations, with a mean of 360 exonic mutations, 165 genomic rearrangements, and 323 segments of copy number alteration per tumour.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic mutations affect key pathways in lung adenocarcinoma

Li Ding, +96 more
- 23 Oct 2008 - 
TL;DR: Somatic mutations in primary lung adenocarcinoma for several tumour suppressor genes involved in other cancers and for sequence changes in PTPRD as well as the frequently deleted gene LRP1B are found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of Tumor Specimens at the Time of Acquired Resistance to EGFR-TKI Therapy in 155 Patients with EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancers

TL;DR: This is the largest series reporting mechanisms of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI therapy and identifies EGFR T790M as the most common mechanism of acquired Resistance, whereas MET amplification, HER2 amplification, and small cell histologic transformation occur less frequently.
