Epidermal growth factor receptor activating mutations serve as core driver lesions of non-small cell lung cancer, while early EGFR inhibitors are restricted by T790M resistance and weak blood-brain barrier penetration. This review systematically sorts multi-layer pharmacological effects, clinical advantages and acquired resistance subtypes of third-generation targeted agent osimertinib based on domestic and global Phase III clinical data. Osimertinib forms stable covalent binding with mutant EGFR to block MAPK and PI3K/Akt oncogenic cascades, and exerts dual anti-tumor effects via direct tumor apoptosis induction and long-term remodeling of immunosuppressive microenvironment. Large clinical trials verify its prominent control efficacy for primary lesions and intracranial metastases, yet long-term monotherapy easily generates four categories of drug resistance represented by C797S mutation and MET amplification. This paper summarizes stratified combined intervention schemes matching different resistance phenotypes, which provide standardized theoretical references for dynamic individualized targeted treatment and novel EG inhibitor development. Novel liquid biopsy monitoring technology further optimizes the whole-process precision medication management of osimertinib in clinical practice.
