Interpretation

Based on reports in the literature, EGFR and KRAS mutations can occasionally coexist in the same bronchial-pulmonary carcinoma. The biological implications of this coexistence are still poorly understood mainly because these cases are not frequent. It is therefore necessary to study larger series of cases with the two mutations to better understand the biological, clinical and therapeutic implications. Patients with coexisting EGFR and KRAS variants may have a partial response to EGFR TKI.
