Notes and footnotes: All mutations listed are generally associated with sensitivity to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) except T790M and exon 20 insertions. G719 and L861 mutations are considered sensitive but somewhat less so than the major exon 19 and 21 mutations. Because exon 20 insertions appear largely insensitive to erlotinib and gefitinib and do not coexist with other mutations, it may be acceptable to exclude them from a testing panel at this time. However, exon 20 insertions are variable in exact position and structure, and response data remain very limited for some types of insertions; therefore, some oncologists may recommend a trial of a first- or second-generation EGFR TKI. Mutations at E709 and S768 usually occur in combination with another of the listed.
