Abstract excerpt

WHAT IS EGFR & WHAT IS AFATINIB?: EGFR is a protein on cells that helps control their growth and division. Mutations in the gene for EGFR can cause cancer, including some cases of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Afatinib is a medicine that blocks mutated EGFR and helps kill cancer cells. Many different types of EGFR mutation have been identified in people with NSCLC. Over three quarters of cases are caused by...
