Osimertinib in Resected EGFR-Mutated Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
The incidence of recurrence after curative resection among patients with stage IB, II, or IIIA non–small-cell lung cancer is high and is only slightly lower with adjuvant chemotherapy. A randomized trial of adjuvant osimertinib involving patients with EGFR mutation–positive NSCLC showed a substantia...

Zusammenfassung: | The incidence of recurrence after curative resection among patients with stage IB, II, or IIIA non–small-cell lung cancer is high and is only slightly lower with adjuvant chemotherapy. A randomized trial of adjuvant osimertinib involving patients with
EGFR
mutation–positive NSCLC showed a substantial decrease in recurrence. Central nervous system relapses were also significantly reduced. |
