Abstract

Osimertinib- a third-generation EGFR inhibitor is the first prefered option and it is often used as a monotherapy in the first-line treatment of EGFR- mutants metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Recently, with the evidence from the FLAURA 2 study showed that the combination of Osimertinib with chemotherapy was more effective than Osimertinib monotherapy, especially in patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases at baseline. However, the side effects of treatment as well as the high cost are also a big burden for patients, so currently not many patients are using this combination regimen. This report aims to describe the clinical, subclinical and initial treatment results of EGFR- mutant, Non-small cell lung cancer cases treated with Osimertinib plus chemotherapy at Vinmec Oncology Center.
