Lung cancer biomarker
EGFR exon 20 in lung cancer: what does the result mean for treatment questions?
EGFR exon 20 insertions differ from more common EGFR alterations. The complete report, test method, and disease context matter before discussing options.
This may be relevant if
- An NGS or molecular report mentions an EGFR exon 20 insertion.
- You want to understand the testing and treatments that may be discussed.
- The disease has progressed or previous treatment needs review.
What information matters?
Start with what you have. Missing information can be marked and completed later.
- The complete molecular report and testing method
- Lung cancer type, stage, and disease sites
- Treatment history and response
- Pathology, imaging, and other biomarkers
A practical next step
- 1Save the source report, not only a cropped result.
- 2Record exon 20 terms and other findings that are unclear.
- 3Use the case summary to discuss potentially relevant treatment or trial options.
Not a diagnosis and not final medical advice. Must be reviewed by a doctor.
Add the EGFR exon 20 result to your Cancer Passport
Keep the molecular result with the lung cancer context so treatment questions are not separated from the case.
After submission, a human navigator reviews your request and contacts you through your chosen channel. The WhatsApp message already includes this page context, so you do not need to explain from the beginning.
Clinical data is not requested in the form and is not sent to analytics. Do not send medical reports through WhatsApp or email; use the secure upload page. We do not promise eligibility or any treatment outcome.

Use a case summary, not a copied medical history
The Cancer Passport keeps the information you choose to save in one place so a later review can start from the same context.
