Case in Point: What Do We Do When a Patient Has a Rare Type of EGFR Mutation?
Here I briefly discuss a challenging case of a patient who has an exon 20 mutation in the EGFR gene, which isn't one of the mutation types associated with a high probability of responding well to an oral EGFR inhibitor. I cover the approach I favored and also some limited information that has just emerged to help clarify what we might expect for patients with an uncommon to rare variant of an EGFR mutation (~5% of mutations detected).
