Abstract: Globally,lung cancer is the leading cause of cancerrelated death with high morbidity, mortality and poor prognosis. The epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKI),a means of molecularly targeted therapy,offers a novel approach for the treatment of patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation effectively. However,the problem of EGFRTKI resistance exists inevitably. A number of promising strategies based on different mechanisms have now been evaluated in phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ trials. These include EGFR-TKI discontinuation,EGFR-TKI continuing,EGFR-TKI+local treatment,EGFR+other molecularly targeted drugs,EGFR-TKI+chemotherapy,EGFR-TKI rechallenge,chemotherapy,chemotherapy+other molecularly targeted drugs and EGFR-TKI+immunotherapy. The purpose of this paper will draw a summary on the progress of treatments in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR-TKI resistance.
