EGFR mutation testing • Requires tissue (5-15 unstained slides) • No single “correct” way • Direct Sequencing • “Snapshot” • “Sequenom” • Next Gen Sequencing (Foundation Medicine, Hiseq, Ion Torrent, etc.) • Most important thing is to have adequate tissue and send the test
In patients with stage IV EGFR mutant lung cancer, an EGFR TKI is standard in first-line Mok et al NEJM 2009, Maemondo et al NEJM 2010, Mitsudomi et al Lancet Oncol 2010, Rosell et al Lancet Oncol 2012

Review of 61 patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer who discontinued erlotinib as part of initiation of clinical trials evaluating other drugs 14/61 (23%) had hospitalization or death in a median of 7 days No clear predictors of patients likely to have flare Conclusion: if you plan to discontinue erlotinib, do so only after or just before initiating alternative therapy Chaft et al Clinical Cancer Research 2011
Approach to Management of Patients with EGFR TKI Acquired Resistance Asymptomatic, indolent growth, multiple sites Continue erlotinib Progression of disease Chemotherapy + erlotinib OR Clinical trial Symptomatic, multiple sites Biopsy Single site (Biopsy) Local therapy, resume erlotinib
