Transcriptomic profiling of lineage transformation and actionable therapy opportunities in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer evolving to small cell lung cancer
Abstract Background Neuroendocrine transformation of epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant lung adenocarcinoma (EGFR m LUAD) represents a significant mechanism underlying acquired resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This histological transformation lacks effective treatments. We comprehensively discussed the treatments of transformed small cell lung cancer (T-SCLC) and analyzed the transcriptomic profile of EGFR m LUAD and paired T-SCLC, aiming to understand the immune landscape of this T-SCLC s …
