Abstract: At present, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor is extensively applicated in treatment of non small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). We review EGFR polymorphisms related to the pharmacodynamics of tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKI), and the influence of pharmacodynamics of gefitinib, a typical drug of TKI. We conclude that the EGFR polymorphisms play an important role on the pharmacodynamics of TKI.

Key words: EGFR polymorphisms, NSCLC, Tyrosine kinase inhibitor, Gefitinib
