- EGFR TKI sensitivity biomarkers determination [ Time Frame: 4 to 6 weeks ]Determine EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitivity biomarkers in responders vs non responders, as categorized by either Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) stable disease (SD) vs Partial response (PR) or median percentage tumour shrinkage
- Response rates after 4 weeks of neoadjuvant gefitinib [ Time Frame: 4 to 6 weeks ]To determine response rates after 4 weeks of neoadjuvant gefitinib as evaluated by RECIST 1.1
- Clonal heterogeneity using whole exome and RNA-sequencing of tumour sectors as well as resected lymph nodes [ Time Frame: 4 to 6 weeks ]
- Clonal heterogeneity recapitulation through CTC, plasma DNA and functional imaging [ Time Frame: 4 to 6 weeks ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 21 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- EGFR mutation positive Non-Small Cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (regardless of smoking status), or control group may encompass other molecular subtypes of lung cancer e.g. anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS).
- All early stage patients with NSCLC who are deemed surgically resectable.
- All patients must have histologically proven NSCLC, with known EGFR mutation
- Patients should be fit for either lobectomy/ pneumonectomy with or without lymph node sampling.
- Primary tumour should be at least 2 cm in size (Tumor stage 1b).
- Willing to provide informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known severe hypersensitivity to gefitinib or any of the excipients of this product
- Any serious concomitant systemic disorder that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to complete the study.
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pulmonary fibrosis; impaired pulmonary function (e.g. FEV1 <40% predicted value, artery blood gas PaO2<60mmHg)
- Patients with prior exposure to agents directed at the Human epidermal receptor (HER) axis (e.g. erlotinib, gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzumab).
- Patients with prior exposure to chemotherapy, irradiation or systemic anti-cancer therapy (e.g. monoclonal antibody therapy) for lung cancer.
- Any unstable systemic disease (including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction within six months, serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, hepatic, renal, or metabolic disease).
- Evidence of any other disease, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or puts the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
- Patient who has serious active infection.
- Patients who harbouring exon 20 T(Threonine)790M (Methionine) mutation.
- Pregnancy or breast feeding.
