Early cancer detection or prevention

Osimertinib plus anlotinib in untreated, EGFR-mutated, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer with concurrent alterations: a multicenter phase II study.

The standard first-line treatment for advanced EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, concurrent mutations facilitate resistance evolution in EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma and combination therapies may offer a superior approach.
