HER2 mutations are identified in about 2% of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) , mainly located in exon 20, and appear to be critical for lung cancer carcinogenesis . Very scarce data are available to define a clinical profile of the patients harboring HER2 mutated NSCLC. We aimed to study clinic opatholog ical characteristics an d therapeutic) O3 ] y4 ^) |/ B' Q
outcomes of patients harboring HER2 mutation in a large European series. Result s:We retrospec tively ide ntified 46 NSCLC patients diagn osed with HER2 exon 20 mut ation. HER2 mutation was mainly exclusive as only one concomitan t KRas mutation was des cribed. Our population was characterized by a median age of 60 yr (31 to 86 yr), a high proportion of women (30 vs. 16 men, 65% ), and of never smokers (24, 52%). All tumors were adenoc arcinomas (two with lepidic features). Half of the patients had stage IV dise ase at the time of diagnosis. HER2 targeted
