TL;DR: It is suggested that erlotinib is important for first-line treatment of patients with advanced EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, and was associated with more favourable tolerability than standard chemotherapy.

TL;DR: Overall survival was significantly longer in the pembrolizumab group than in the chemotherapy group in all three TPS populations, and the benefit-to-risk profile suggests that first-line pembrology monotherapy can be extended as first line therapy for locally advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients with sensitising EGFR or ALK translocation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that first-line erlotinib provides a statistically significant improvement in PFS versus GP in Asian patients with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC (NCT01342965).

TL;DR: The significant OS benefit observed in patients treated with EGFR-TKI emphasises its contribution to improving survival of EGFR mutation-positive advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients, suggesting that erlotinib should be considered standard first-line treatment of EGfr mutant patients and EGFR -TKI treatment following first- line therapy also brings significant benefits to those patients.

TL;DR: Icotinib was non-inferior to gefitinib in terms of progression-free survival and could be a new treatment option for pretreated patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.
