Upfront osimertinib matches sequential treatment for prolonging survival in EGFR-mutant NSCLC
Patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring EGFR mutation appear to experience similar survival outcomes with either frontline osimertinib therapy or sequential treatment approach of gefitinib followed by osimertinib, although upfront osimertinib leads to a significant reduction in the risk of brain progression, as shown in the results of the APPLE trial presented at ELCC 2023.
