FGFR Fusions as an Acquired Resistance Mechanism Following Treatment with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (EGFR TKIs) and a Suggested Novel Target in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (aNSCLC)

Over 23% of FGFR2/3 fusions in aNSCLC may be associated with acquired resistance following treatment with EGFR TKIs. In this clinical scenario, a combination of EGFR TKIs and FGFR TKIs represents a promising treatment strategy.
