Popis: Clinical trial and real-world data in non-small-cell lung cancer indicate that 10–60% of patients that progressed on first- or second-generation EGFR-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) do not receive systemic second-line therapy. In our article, we discuss efficacy, safety and treatment duration with different EGFR-TKIs and stress the need for delivery of the most efficacious therapy in the first-line. We also provide our perspective on analysis of circulating tumor DNA and the role of EGFR-TKI in combined therapies. Finally, we review new therapeutic options to overcome resistance to EGFR-TKI. We believe that overall treatment duration and access to different medications in subsequent lines of therapy should be considered when planning the optimal treatment strategy.
