Abstract

Currently, three strategies for primary treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR gene mutations are being investigated: epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) monotherapy, EGFR-TKI + vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor combination, and EGFR-TKI + cytotoxic anticancer agent combination (Tables 1,2).
