Abstract: The development of the tyrosinekinase inhibitors (TKIs) has led to new treatment options for lung cancer. As this new class of drugs is extensively used, serious drugdrug interactions are in increasing risk, and tailored treatment is urgently needed. All TKIs are given orally, extensively distributed in vivo and highly bound to plasma proteins. A change in stomach pH may affect their absorptions. Most of them are substrates of drug transporters ATPbinding cassette B1/G2 and cytochrome P450 isozymes. At the same time, they often exert an inductive or inhibitory effect on these enzymes. Patients are at substantial risk of having drugdrug interactions during treatment with TKIs in daily clinical practice.
