OBJECTIVES: Currently, combination therapy of ramucirumab (RAM) + docetaxel (DOC) must play a more important role as a second-line treatment. Epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation accounts for around 50% of oncogenic driver mutations in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Asian subsets. The number of brain metastases (BM) is relatively higher in EGFR mutation-positive patients...
