Objective:To determine somatic mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-pathway networks and investigate clinical therapeutic consequence for progression free survival or overall survival in patients with multiple somatic mutations.Methods:Pathology samples of Chinese NSCLC patients were analyzed for EGFR, KRAS, BRAF and PIK3CA mutations by a 70plex liquidchip technology.Patients harboring both EGFR-TKI activating mutations (EAM) and resistant mutations (ERM) were selected for progression-free survival and overall survival studies following erlotinib TKI treatment.The progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with double mutations were compared with those with only one EAM or no mutations in previous studies.
