Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) serve as the standard of care for the first-line treatment of patients with lung cancers with EGFR-activating mutations. However, the acquisition of resistance to EGFR TKIs is almost inevitable, with extremely rare exceptions, and drug-tolerant cells (DTCs) that demonstrate reversible drug insensitivity and that survive the early phase of TKI exposure are hypothesized to be an important source of cancer cells that eventually acquire irreversible resistance. Numerous studies on the molecular mechanisms of drug tolerance of EGFR-mutated lung cancers employ lung cancer cell lines as models. Here, we reviewed these studies to generally describe the features, potential origins, and candidate molecular mechanisms of DTCs. The rapid development of an optimal treatment for EGFR-mutated lung cancer will require a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of the drug insensitivity of DTCs.
