The term "EGFR-positive lung cancer” is no longer adequate or specific enough to characterize this complex molecular subtype of lung cancer. Increased granularity is needed both in biomarker testing and targeted treatment selection for patients with different types of EGFR mutations. A growing number of new agents and combinations have become available for patients with common (eg, exon 19 deletion, exon 21 L858R) and uncommon (eg, exon 20 insertions) EGFR mutations, and more are on the horizon, requiring a precision ap...
