The efficacy of TKIs was consistent across SQC forms (including de novo or adenocarcinoma-transformed cases) and EGFR mutation types. The findings indicate that, compared with early-generation TKIs, third-generation TKIs are effective against de novo SQCs and should be considered a plausible treatment option for transformed SQCs.
Disruption of ligand binding domain of EGFR by sequential knock in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing altered subcellular localization and phosphorylation of EGFR in cervical cancer cells. The results presented here provide insights that may accelerate the development of CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies for EGFR-dependent cancers and reinforce the importance of thorough evaluation of CRISPR/Cas9-generated phenotypes.
For classical EGFR mutations such as exon 19 deletion and exon 21 L858R mutation, combination strategies in the first-line setting, based on the results of the MARIPOSA (lazertinib and amivantamab) and FLAURA 2 (platinum-based doublet chemotherapy and osimertinib) trials, provide promising outcomes. Optimising the treatment sequence in advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC is crucial to ensure the best survival outcomes along with the best treatment tolerance and quality of life. Predictive biomarkers are strongly needed as well as biomarker-based escalation and de-escalation clinical trials.
