- Abstract
Several oncogenic drivers have been identified in non-small cell lung cancer. Targeted therapies for these aberrations have already been successfully developed and implemented in clinical practice. Owing to improved sensitivity in genetic testing, more and more tumors with multiple driver mutations are identified, resulting in dilemmas for treating physicians whether and which targeted therapy to use. In this case series, we provide an overview of patients with intrinsic double mutations in oncogenic drivers and their reported response to targeted therapies, with a focus on epidermal growth factor receptor, anaplastic lymphoma kinase, cMET, and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene. We also include an unpublished case report on a patient with an epidermal growth factor receptor L858R and cMET exon 14 skipping.
