Lung Cancer With EGFR Mutation - Verywell Health
2024年11月2日 · EGFR-positive lung cancer is a type of lung cancer with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. In the United States, around 10% to 15% of lung cancers are EGFR-positive. Most of these occur in adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer.

Mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) lead to increased downstream signalling, which promotes cell proliferation, differentiation, and growth [4]. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that block EGFR-derived signal transduction show excellent efficacy in many patients with EGFR mutations [5 – 8].
