Adjuvant therapy for EGFR mutant and ALK positive NSCLC: Current data and future prospects. Lung cancer Chuang, J. C., Neal, J. W., Niu, X., Wakelee, H. A. 2015; 90 (1): 1-7

Abstract

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) against targetable mutations such as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) are highly effective in treating advanced stage lung cancers harboring such mutations.

Here, we examine the current data and ongoing trials addressing this issue.
