Background  Although EGFR-TKI is the preferred treatment for NSCLC patients with sensitive mutations, subsequent drug resistance is almost inevitable. The specific mechanisms of EGFR-TKI drug resistance can be identified through repeat biopsy.    Methods  To better understand the clinical characteristics of TKI resistance in NSCLC patients, we retrospectively reviewed studies of acquired TKI drug resistance using repeat biopsy from the last decade. The relevant literature was retrieved from January 2005 to August 2015 in the databases Medline and Embase. The search terms were NSCLC or non-small cell lung cancer and T790 M.    Results  A total of 478 patients with NSCLC tested by repeated biopsy were confirmed to have acquired TKI resistance. Analysis indicated that 240 patients (50.21%) of the 478 patients with acquired TKI drug resistance had the T790 M mutation. The detection rate of T790 M in different repeat biopsy sites was also different, with the highest positive rate in the lymph nodes (60%) and the lowest detection rate in cerebrospinal fluid (less than 5%). In addition, patients with T790 M had longer overall survival compared to those without the mutation ( P  < 0.05). Of the 240 patients with T790 M mutations, 213 patients showed results consistent with the mutation analysis before TKI treatment, and the rate of patients with the L858R point mutation along with the T790 M mutation was lower than that of patients with the exon 19 deletion (36.42% to 58.30%).    Conclusions  T790 M occurred more frequently in patients with the exon 19 deletion than in those with exon 21 L858R, which gave the survival benefit of the T790 M mutation and may explain why patients with the exon 19 deletion had an improved overall survival.
