Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor-mutated (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) responds well to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), yet optimal therapy after resistance remains uncertain. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) show limited overall efficacy, heterogeneity in response by programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression exists. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated...
