Inhibitors of multiple targets within a single pathway exerting synergistic effects Amplification, overexpression, and mutation of MET and HER2 are heavily involved in EGFR TKI resistance development, and the cross talk of these receptors is a way to avoid TK inhibition in many

Further, substantial evidence for the efficacy of EGFR TKIs combined with HER2-targeted therapy in patients with developed EGFR TKI resistance due to HER2 amplification can be found in the literature [63][64][65]. Patients with HER2 gene mutations showing resistance to EGFR TKIs may be sensitive
