摘要
Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer continue to have a poor prognosis; most die from the disease within I year. Chemotherapy is beneficial for some patients in the first-line metastatic setting. Three agents, namely docetaxel, pemetrexed, and erlotinib, are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration as treatment in the second-line setting. In this article, we examine the data supporting the use of these agents in the second-line setting and review data from other completed trials. Lastly, we propose strategies to advance the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
