The EGFR pathway has emerged as a key target in non-small-cell lung cancer. EGF receptor (EGFR) inhibition in non-small-cell lung cancer is achieved via small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors, such as erlotinib or gefitinib, or monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab. A growing body of evidence is identifying potential molecular predictors of response and toxicity. This includes tumor-related molecular markers, such as EGFR mutation and copy number, as well as germline markers such as polymorphisms in EGFR or EGFR pathway-related genes. This review focuses on the current state of knowledge of predictors of response and toxicity to EGFR inhibitors in lung cancer.
表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)通路已成为非小细胞肺癌的关键靶点。在非小细胞肺癌中,通过小分子酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(如厄洛替尼或吉非替尼)或单克隆抗体(如西妥昔单抗)来实现对表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)的抑制。越来越多的证据正在确定反应和毒性的潜在分子预测指标。这包括肿瘤相关分子标志物,如EGFR突变和拷贝数,以及种系标志物,如EGFR或EGFR通路相关基因的多态性。本综述重点关注肺癌中EGFR抑制剂反应和毒性预测指标的当前知识状态。
