Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the standard of care for non-small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. The efficacy of TKIs and prognosis of EGFR-mutated patients with compound EGFR mutation, oncogene mutation, suppresser gene mutation or other diver gene mutation are worse than those of patients with a single EGFR mutation. This article makes a review of related clinical researches aiming to provide references for clinical scenarios. To sum up, molecular alterations and clinical features should be correlated as accurately and dynamically as possible in the diagnostic and therapeutic process, and combined therapeutic strategies should be chosen flexibly and reasonably to improve patients’ survival and prognosis.
