Abstract:Lung cancer is a tumor-related disease with the highest incidence and mortality in the world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for more than 80% of all lung cancer incidence rates and it has become the most concerned pathology type in the medical community. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer,American Thoracic Society and the European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) first proposed the inextricable relationship between the pathological type of NSCLC and the mutant subtype of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).NSCLC patients with different subtypes of EGFR mutations are sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that exist when receiving the same EGFR-TKI treatment, and the ideal therapeutic effect can be achieved in the early stage, but subsequent resistance often occurs, which makes treatment difficult. Due to the difference in efficacy, these patients also have occurred drug resistance after receiving the first-generation or second-generation EGFR-TKI. Even the use of Osimertinib (the third-generation EGFR-TKI) still cannot greatly meet the clinical treatment needs. Therefore,immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a treatment options that researchers are competing to explore. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview for the research progress of EGFR mutation subtypes and immune checkpoint blocking treatment in advanced NSCLC.
