Tóm tắt

Gefitinib and erlotinib, which are epidermal growth factor receptor‐ (EGFR‐) specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), are widely used as molecularly targeted drugs for non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, the search for EGFR gene mutations is becoming essential for the treatment of NSCLC since these have been identified as predictive factors for drug sensitivity. On the other hand, in almost all patients responsive to EGFR‐TKIs, acquired resistance is a major clinical problem. Mechanisms of acquired resistance reported in the past few years include secondary mutation of the EGFR gene, amplification of the MET gene, and overexpression of HGF; novel pharmaceutical agents are currently being developed to overcome resistance. This review focuses on these mechanisms of acquired resistance to EGFR‐TKIs and discusses how they can be overcome.
