Abstract
•
While most molecular testing focuses on somatic alterations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, evidence is growing regarding the presence of germline lung cancer mutations. The most common lung cancer germline mutation is EGFR T790M.
•
Herein, we describe an EGFR germline mutation not previously reported outside of Asia, T725M.
•
Identification of germline lung cancer mutations could help to identify new therapeutic targets. Furthermore, further characterization of these mutations can aid in the development of screening and surveillance guidelines for patients with hereditary lung cancer, which currently do not exist.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Lung Cancer is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that publishes original articles describing various aspects of clinical and translational research of lung cancer. Clinical Lung Cancer is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of lung cancer. The main emphasis is on recent scientific developments in all areas related to lung cancer. Specific areas of interest include clinical research and mechanistic approaches; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; and integration of various approaches.
