Abstract:

As one of the main methods of postoperative adjuvant therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the clinical effect of platinum-containing dual-drug chemotherapy has reached a ceiling effect and it is difficult to further improve the survival of patients with NSCLC. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors have become the standard first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC with EGFR mutation, but its value as postoperative adjuvant therapy is far to be investigated. Some studies have been carried out in this field in recent years.
