Abstract

Patients with <i>EGFR</i>-mutant non-small cell lung cancer achieve variable benefit from targeted therapy, and biomarkers to predict degree of benefit are not in clinical use. <i>EGFR</i>-mutant cancers with high tumor mutational burden demonstrate poorer outcomes on EGFR-targeted therapy. Investigation into the mechanisms underlying this intriguing association is needed.<i>See related article by Offin et al., p. 1063</i>.
