Monitoring of treatment responses and clonal evolution of tumor cells by circulating tumor DNA of heterogeneous mutant EGFR genes in lung cancer

Highlights • EGFR ctDNA rapidly responded to an EGFR-TKI as a response predictor. • Transient ctDNA peaks of various EGFR mutants appeared during EGFR-TKI treatments. • A pretreatment EGFR -mutant tumor harbors multiple activating and T790M mutations. • T790M mutation does not necessarily confer res...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • EGFR ctDNA rapidly responded to an EGFR-TKI as a response predictor. • Transient ctDNA peaks of various EGFR mutants appeared during EGFR-TKI treatments. • A pretreatment EGFR -mutant tumor harbors multiple activating and T790M mutations. • T790M mutation does not necessarily confer resistance phenotypes to EGFR-TKIs.
