Abstract
Acquired resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has been developed as an important clinical problem though EGFR-TKI such as gefitinib, erlotinib and afatinib [1,2] has achieved 8-14 months of progression free survival in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patient with EGFR mutation. We report a case here that an advanced lung adenocarcinoma with L858R mutation responded well to pemetrexed rechallenge after acquired resistance of erlotinib.Entities:
