Clinical analysis of EGFR‐ positive non‐small cell lung cancer patients treated with first‐line afatinib: A Nagano Lung Cancer Research Group
2019
Background
In the LUX‐Lung 3 and LUX‐Lung 6 trials, afatinib improved overall survival in previously untreated patients with EGFR 19del mutated non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to chemotherapy. The appropriate management of adverse events and dose reduction of afatinib are important for EGFR‐positive NSCLC patients. We conducted a retrospective and observational study of patients treated with first‐line afatinib for EGFR‐positive NSCLC in Nagano prefecture, Japan, focusing on efficacy and toxicities.
