Dr. Garon explains the factors guiding his choice between EGFR inhibitors for EGFR+ NSCLC and when he might consider alternatives like afatinib or erlotinib.

Radiotherapy plus camrelizumab and platinum-doublet chemotherapy showed manageable toxicity in untreated non–small cell lung cancer with brain metastases.

Christine Bestvina, MD, stated that the presence of EGFR and ALK mutations can affect the way that a patient will react to treatment and should be factors that physicians consider.
