Uncommon EGFR mutations was detected in 8.8% of EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Exon 20 insertion was the most common mutation, and 50% of patients had history of tobacco use. First- or second-generation EGFR-TKI demonstrated greater OS benefit than platinum-doublet chemotherapy among patients harboring uncommon EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Survival outcomes were comparable to those reported from previous large cohort studies.
