Abstract
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are highly effective agents for the treatment of lung cancer which harbors activated gene mutation. However, for patients with failure of TKI, TKI re-treatment beyond progression (TRBP) is still a potential option that has been proven by many literatures. In this review, we summarize the clinical evidence of TRBP and discuss the potential mechanisms to overcome TKI-acquired resistance.Entities:
