Afatinib in the first-line treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer: clinical evidence and experience
Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) gene mutations identify a molecularly defined subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who display an excellent sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). First-generation reversible EGFR TKIs, gefitinib and erlotinib have been proven...
