third generation of EGFR-TKIs is the newest target therapy for NSCLC. However, we did not known the specific mechanisms for those non-responders and patients grow resistance.Next generation sequencing is current the most sensitive and specific method to exam gene mutation, diversion etc. By consistently detect the cf-DNA, we could possibly find out the mechanisms of response and resistance.
Description: Using next generation sequencing (NGS) method to detect circulating free DNA (cf-DNA) in patients receive third generation EGFR-TKI, periphereal blood sample were collected at baseline and every 2 months to disease progression.
Measure: cf-DNA change from baseline Time: baseline and every 2 months up to 36 months or first documented progression disease.Cohort
