This letter describes the first demonstration of clinical response to the anti-EGFR inhibitor gefitinib in a case of urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis harboring a rare EGFR double mutation. New mutations and unexpected clinical responses should be always explored through wide-spectrum mutational analyses.
这封信描述了首例肾盂尿路上皮癌伴有罕见表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)双突变的病例对抗EGFR抑制剂吉非替尼产生临床反应的情况。应始终通过广谱突变分析来探索新的突变和意外的临床反应。
