Treatment of Patients With Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Harboring Rare Oncogenic Mutations

Non-small-cell lung cancer is a major cause of cancer morbidity and mortality worldwide, and these patients have traditionally had a grim prognosis. As our understanding of actionable molecular aberrations that drive oncogenesis has grown, so too has the number of available therapies with improved outcomes in selectively targeted patient populations. This review provides an overview of the clinical response of tumors harboring relatively rare oncogenic drivers to currently approved targeted agents and those in late-stage clinical development. Molecular testing methods available for screening for oncogenic drivers will be discussed. (C) 2020 Published by Elsevier Inc.
