Single-agent osimertinib (Tagrisso) remains the standard of care for…

*July 2022* Although it is known that anti-PD1/L1 monotherapy does not render significant benefit in patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma, whether the addition of anti-PD1/L1 therapy to chemotherapy can enhance chemotherapy efficacy for TKI-refractory EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma patients is not clear. To address this question, we retrospectively analyzed a cohort…

*July 2022* Introduction BRAF variants were reported resistant mechanisms to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Nevertheless, characteristics and subsequent treatment strategies of such patients remain unclear. Methods From October 2016 to May 2020, patients with advanced NSCLC for whom next-generation sequencing detected mutations of both BRAF and…
