EGFR Mutations in Lung Cancer: Correlation with Clinical Response to Gefitinib Therapy
Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinase genes were sequenced in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and matched normal tissue. Somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene EGFR were found in 15of 58 unselected tumors from Japan and 1 of 61 from the United States. Treatment with the EGFR kinase inhibitor gefitinib (Iressa) causes tumor regression in some patients with NSCLC, more frequently in Japan. EGFR mutations were found in additional lung cancer samples from U.S. patients who responded to gefitinib therapy and in a lung adenocarcinoma cell line that was hypersensitive to growth inhibition by gefitinib, but not in gefitinib-insensitive tumors or cell lines. These results suggest that EGFR mutations may predict sensitivity to gefitinib.

“Afterwards, studies revealed that the reduced sensitivity to gefitinib or erlotinib in NSCLC was linked to EGFR-specific activating mutations.112–116”
From Recent advances in targeting the “undruggable” proteins: from drug discovery to clinical trials (2023) · cites this paper as [113]
In the citing paper
“The two most common EGFR-activating mutations are small in-frame deletions in exon 19 (particularly E746-A750del) and amino acid substitution in exon 21 (leucine to arginine at codon 858 (L858R)), which collectively account for >90% of known activating EGFR mutations.2 3”

In the citing paper
“During clinical development in the early 2000s, the reversible, first-generation EGFR inhibitors gefitinib and erlotinib (Fig. 2a) were discovered to be effective against tumours harbouring somatic activating mutations in EGFR, either deletions in exon 19 or the L858R point mutation, which occur in 10–30% of patients with NSCLC31–33.”
From Advances in covalent drug discovery (2022) · cites this paper as [32]
In the citing paper
“The causal role of EGFR in tumorigenesis was further solidified in 2004 when somatic, activating mutations in EGFR were discovered in a subset of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) (Lynch et al., 2004; Paez et al., 2004; Pao et al., 2004) (Table 1).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
