Lung Cancer Remains a Major Global Health Burden
§ One of the most common cancers and leading cause of cancer deaths in US and worldwide[1,2]
– New cases, 2017 (estimated): global, 1.8 million (ITALY 40.000)
– Deaths, 2017 (estimated): US, 155,870; global, 1.6 million
§ ~ 80% to 85% of cases are NSCLC (~ 184,000)
– Stage IV at diagnosis: ~ 57%
– Represented by multiple disease subtypes
§ Standard of care for stage IV NSCLC: systemic therapy

EGFR Mutations: Context
§ Found in 10% to 30% of NSCLC pts
§ More common in never-smokers, adenocarcinomas, females, Asians[1,2]
§ Predominantly located in EGFR exons 18, 19, 21
– ~ 85% of EGFR mutations are either deletions in exon 19 or a single-point mutation in exon 21 (L858R)
§ Specific EGFR mutation identified is important – There are sensitive mutations, primary resistance mutations (often exon
20), and acquired resistance mutations (T790M)
