We present the case of a patient with lung adenocarcinoma harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations who showed an impressive survival of more than 9 years following a combination of systemic therapies consisting of cytotoxic drugs and EGFR TKIs that were very well tolerated."
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
