A patient with adenosquamous carcinoma harboring a germline T790M mutation responded well to osimertinib with a progression-free survival of more than 30 months and without any unexpected toxicities. Osimertinib is effective for patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma with T790M and L858R mutations. The germline EGFR T790M mutation is associated with genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. The clinical use of next-generation sequencing could maximize the benefits of precision medicine in patients with cancer.
