Novel EGFR Inhibitors in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Current Status of Afatinib.

Current oncology reports - 1 Jan 2017

Liao Bin-Chi, Lin Chia-Chi, Yang James Chih-Hsin

Abstract excerpt

Afatinib, a second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been approved worldwide as a first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that harbors activating EGFR mutations. Here, we have reviewed the recent clinical developments in the treatment of lung cancer using afatinib. Emerging data have revealed the overall survival benefit of first-line...
