Chinese Expert Consensus on Second-line Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with Negative Driver Gene Mutations
For advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients with negative driver gene mutations,chemo-therapy has always been the standard treatment option,and immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)provide other treatment op-tion for these patients.At present,the first-line treatment can choose chemotherapy,anti-angiogenic drugs or immunotherapy.Although the initial treatment can achieve a certain clinical curative effect,disease progression or treatment failure is eventually unavoidable.The second-line and subsequent treatments have poor efficacy and more effective drugs are needed clinically.An expert panel of respiratory medicine,pathology and medical oncology organized by Expert Committee on Non-small Cell Lung Cancer of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology conducted an in-depth discussion on evidences of clinical studies for second-line treatment of NSCLC patients with negative driver gene mutations,aiming to provide guidances for Chinese clini-cians in choosing second-line treatment for NSCLC patients with negative driver gene mutations.
