Chemotherapy in Previously Treated Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

While advanced non-small cell lung cancer often responds to chemotherapy, it eventually develops resistance and remains incurable. Recent studies indicate that each of docetaxel, pemetrexed, and the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor erlotinib may prolong survival and improve quality of life for some patients with tumor progression during or after front-line chemotherapy.
