摘要: Despite the advent of cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), prognosis this patient population remains poor. Novel biologically targeted agents currently in development have potential greater efficacy against NSCLC, and possibly less toxicity than is associated with conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) recognized as a potentially useful target, small molecule, orally active EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 (Iressa) furthest along clinical anti-EGFR agents. This review summarizes available data on use treatment NSCLC.
