Furmonertinib plus pemetrexed in the treatment of EGFR exon 19 deletion lung adenocarcinoma: two case reports

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 19 deletion (Ex19del) is one of the most prevalent sensitizing mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Introduction Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common malignancy worldwide, with adenocarcinoma as the predominant subtype (1,...

Radiomics-based gradient boosting model on contrast-enhanced MRI for non-invasive prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor expression and therapeutic response to EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugates in high-grade glioma organoid models

AbstractBackground Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor EGF(EGFR) play crucial roles in glioblastoma (GBM) prognosis. However, non-invasive assessment of their expression remains challenging. This study aimed to determine whether radiomics features extracted from contrast-enhanced MRI could predict EGFR expression...

Current and Emerging Treatment Landscape of Common EGFR-Mutated Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been standard of care as monotherapy for EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer since reporting of the FLAURA phase III clinical trial, which demonstrated superiority over first-generation...

EGFR Signaling Linked to Oral Cancer Pain and Reduced Opioid Effectiveness

EGFR Signaling Linked to Oral Cancer Pain and Reduced Opioid Effectiveness Researchers have identified a shared biological process involving epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling that contributes to both oral cancer pain and reduced effectiveness of opioid medications. The study...

Triple-positive non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, and high PD-L1 expression: a case report and literature review

BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements are typically considered mutually exclusive i 1 Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. With the advent of precision oncology, EGFR mutations...

Efficacy of TKIs in non-small cell lung cancer with atypical EGFR p.L747P and p.L747S mutations

ObjectivesEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are established first-line treatments for advanced non-small cell lung ca Introduction Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 75-85% of...

A combined strategy of EGFR-MET bispecific antibody and HER3 ADC to overcome osimertinib resistance in NSCLC

AbstractPurpose Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been widely used as the standard-of-care first-line treatment for EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, EGFR-TKI resistance has become a major challenge for almost all patients with EGFR-mutated...
