Abstract

INTRODUCTION: We assessed the proportion of patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who receive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the real-world, predictors of TKI use, and impact of TKI therapy on overall survival (OS).

MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified patients diagnosed with stage IV EGFR

RESULTS: Of 117 eligible patients (median age = 69; 62% women; 88% EGFR

CONCLUSION: Approximately 18% of patients with advanced EGFR
