Abstract:With the in-depth research on the pathogenesis of lung cancer, driver gene-guided molecular targeted therapy has made breakthrough progress in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have been recommended as first-line agents for EGFR mutationpositive non-small cell lung cancer. As a third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, osimertinib shows much better clinical response and efficacy than first- and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Despite the remarkable success of osimertinib in both first- and second-line NSCLC treatment, the inevitable acquired resistance has become an urgent clinical issue. This article reviews the primary resistance mechanisms of osimertinib BIM(Bcl-2 interacting mediator of cell death) and PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue) deficiency and secondary resistance mechanisms (EGFRdependent and non-dependent resistance mechanisms) of osimertinib in non-small cell lung cancer, and the coping strategies formulated for it, including osimertinib combined with other drug treatments, allosteric EGFR inhibitors and multi-target inhibitors are used to provide a reference for enhancing the effect of targeted therapy for clinical non-small cell lung cancer.
