Dual mutations and complex mutations in metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer: A single-institution experience from...

Wide use and incorporation of newer diagnostic tools in the management of metastatic nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has helped in achieving the goal of personalized treatment of this disease. With the wide use of polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with dual and complex mutations posing a new challenge in the management of patient with metastatic NSCLC. In this article, we would like to bring forth six such cases and the varied responses to the current available treatment in patients with complex and dual mutations. The appropriate management in these groups of patients is yet to be standardized.
