EGFR exon 19 deletion & L858R

Exon 19 deletion and L858R are the two common EGFR mutations, together ~85% of EGFR-mutant lung cancer, and both respond to EGFR pills.

Exon 19 deletions (~45%) respond somewhat better than L858R (~40%) to osimertinib; both are covered by first-line osimertinib, amivantamab-lazertinib, and osimertinib-chemotherapy. Uncommon mutations (G719X, L861Q, S768I) respond to afatinib; exon 20 insertions need amivantamab or sunvozertinib.
