EGFR and ERBB2 alterations occur in 4% and 15% of UC, respectively. EGFRexon20ins and ERBB2exon20ins were present in 0.7% and 0.5% of UC overall and collectively define a small, but distinct, subset of UC with infrequent co-occurrence of other drivers and low TMB. Given recent promising clinical studies of inhibitors with activity against exon 20 insertions in non-small cell lung cancer, consideration should be given to developing a trial inclusive of patients with UC harbouring these alterations.
