Yuji Uehara: Resistance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutated LUAD

Yuji Uehara, Medical Oncologist, National Cancer Center, Japan, shared a post on X about a recent study by him and colleagues published in Journal of Thoracic Oncology:

“Hot Off the Press from our study: Solid histology and high podoplanin CAFs predict resistance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutated LUAD.

 Key Findings:

  • Solid histology/High podoplanin CAFs: Worse PFS and OS for Osimertinib – HGF Expression is higher in these tumors.
  • Could identify patients for intensive therapy targeting MET + EGFR (e.g., Ami + Lazer).”

Solid predominant histology and high podoplanin expression in cancer-associated fibroblast predict primary resistance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutated lung adenocarcinoma
