A Nationwide Study on the Impact of Routine Testing for EGFR Mutations in Advanced NSCLC Reveals Distinct Survival Patterns Based on EGFR Mutation Subclasses
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC8307492
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Prognostic, Oncogenic
Justification: Predictive: The text discusses the association of specific EGFR mutations, such as L858R and exon 19 deletions, with overall survival (OS) outcomes in patients treated with first-line EGFR inhibitors, indicating their predictive value for treatment response. Prognostic: The analysis of overall survival (OS) based on different EGFR mutation subclasses, including L858R and uncommon actionable variants, demonstrates their prognostic significance in determining patient outcomes. Oncogenic: The presence of EGFR mutations, including L858R and T790M, is associated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), indicating their role in oncogenesis.
