Abstract

EGFR mutant NSCLC comprises the largest molecular subgroup in NSCLC, with remarkable responses to targeted therapy. However a third of the patients do not respond, and among the responders there exists a heterogeneity in response. A better understanding is still needed of the various attributes of the EGFR mutation itself, apart from the widely studied primary resistance mechanisms. Variant Allele frequency (VAF) which is influenced by tumor proportion, and copy number alteration of the gene is an important attribute and a possible predictor of outcome and response.
