非小细胞肺癌EGFR非经典突变靶向耐药后的治疗进展

Therapeutic advances for epidermal growth factor receptor non-classical mutations in non-small cell lung cancer after targeted therapy resistance

  • 摘要: 表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor,EGFR)作为非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer,NSCLC)的关键驱动基因,其突变在NSCLC中具有重要临床意义。除19号外显子缺失和21号外显子L858R突变以外的其他非经典突变类型也越来越受到重视。随着二代测序等高通量检测技术的普及,EGFR非经典突变的检出率显著提高,其分子特征和对治疗的反应模式也逐渐明确。然而,由于这些突变具有高度异质性,不同突变类型对EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors,EGFR-TKIs)的敏感性存在显著性差异,另外临床样本量有限,导致相关研究证据相对匮乏。此外,由于EGFR-TKIs在临床的长期应用,针对这些非经典突变的获得性耐药问题日益突出,进一步增加了治疗难度。尽管如此,靶向治疗EGFR非经典突变的探索从未停止。本文对近年来关于非小细胞肺癌EGFR非经典突变的研究进行综述,旨在为EGFR非经典突变患者靶向治疗失败后的管理提供临床参考依据。希望通过整合现有证据和临床经验,能够优化此类患者的个体化治疗策略,最终改善其预后和生活质量。

     

    Abstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a key oncogenic driver in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and its mutations have significant clinical implications. While classical mutations, such as exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R substitutions, are well established, increasing attention has shifted toward less common, non-classical EGFR mutation subtypes. The widespread adoption of high-throughput sequencing technologies such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) has substantially improved the detection rate of non-classical EGFR mutations. Thus, their molecular characteristics and therapeutic responses have been increasingly elucidated. However, due to their significant heterogeneity, substantial variability exists in the sensitivity of different non-classical mutations to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). Furthermore, the scarcity of clinical samples limits the availability of robust evidence. Additionally, prolonged clinical use of EGFR-TKIs can also lead to acquired resistance, further complicating treatment strategies. Despite these challenges, ongoing research continues to explore targeted therapies for patients with non-classical EGFR mutations. This review summarizes recent studies on non-classical EGFR mutations in NSCLC, examines current therapeutic approaches, and outlines clinical recommendations for managing patients after EGFR-TKI treatment failure. By integrating existing evidence and clinical experience, this review aims to optimize individualized treatment strategies for these patients, with the ultimate goal of improving their prognosis and quality of life.
