Abstract

Considering the findings regarding the excellent frequency response (approximately 70%), survival without disease progression (median approximately of 9 months), better safety profile and the superior quality of life for patients compared with standard chemotherapy, EGFR TKIs in EGFR mutation positive non-small cell lung cancer patients can be now considered as first-line treatment in these patients. Evaluation of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations is necessary for all non-small cell lung cancer patients as the effective prognostic marker of the response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors of EGFR.
