EGFR mutations and response to treatment with
erlotinib or gefitinib – prospective studies
Collectively, these studies show a 75% response rate for patients whose
tumors have mutations compared with a response rate of <10% for those with
wild-type EGFR

Conclusions
• Targeted therapies have been producing
promising results, namely in specific subgroups of cancer patients
• Research on the molecular aetiology of
cancer is finally paying off! Don’t stop now!
• Health-care institutions have the chance to
save significant resources by targeting these
therapies.
