Lung transplant with bronchial arterial revascularization: review of surgical technique and clinical outcomes.

abstract：Background:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene has been identified as the driving gene of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) has shown efficacy, but acquired resistance is inevitable. It has been confirmed that the secondary EGFR Thr790Met (T790M) mutation accounts...
