...a 52-year-old Chinese female with no smoking history...the patient was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma....Molecular pathology suggested EGFR exon 20 p.S768I mutation (2303G>T)...the patient started taking afatinib (40 mg/day) with bevacizumab. The chest CT scan revealed the metastases shrank obviously after 1 month (Figure 3C)....The efficacy evaluation was partial response. Now, the patient has PFS for 6 month (Table 1).
