Deskripsi
Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the main pathological type of lung cancer, accounting for about 80%. Approximately 30% of all patients with NSCLC have resectable early and middle stage disease at the time of diagnosis. Recently, the epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have made a major breakthrough in the adjuvant targeted therapy of EGFR-mutated resectable NSCLC, and are recommended by the guidelines for clinical use. In this review, we summarize the clinical research progress of perioperative adjuvant targeted therapy for EGFR-mutated resectable NSCLC, and discuss the key issues in the clinical researches.
