摘要: Cetuximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody that directed towards the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It has been evaluated in combination with first-line chemotherapy several phase II and two III trials patients advanced NSCLC. The FLEX trial demonstrated improved survival for cetuximab combined cisplatin plus vinorelbine compared to alone. BMS099 failed show significant improvement progression-free but resulted hazard ratio death similar one seen trial. A meta-analysis of four randomized confirmed efficacy when added chemotherapy. EGFR expression levels based on an immunohistochemistry score have recently shown predict benefit from In high expression, had prolonged treated low outcome was not different between treatment arms. Thus platinum-based represents new option NSCLC their tumors. also chemoradiotherapy stage
