EGFR-mutated advanced LAD patients receiving afatinib (30 mg/d) from January 2017 to November 2021 were retrospectively included. EGFR status was classified into three subtypes, namely common mutations including exon 19 deletions (19del) and exon 21 L858R (21L858R), uncommon mutations including G719X, L861Q, S768I....In the first-line setting, patients with common and uncommon mutations had a significantly longer PFS compared to those with 20ins [14.53 (13.53-15.53) vs. 10.39 (4.87-15.91) vs. 2.37 (0.00-5.11) months, P<0.001]....Afatinib at 30 mg/d is associated with a favorable efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of advanced LAD with common and major uncommon EGFR mutations except 20ins.
