Abstract:Objective To observe the PFS (Progression Free Survival) could be extended in advanced NSCLC(non-small cell lung cancer) patients with gradual progression after failure of EGFR tyrosine kinase in-hibitors therapy by intercalated treatment. Methods 24 advanced NSCLC patients from August 2009 to Decem-ber 2014 were collected after gradual progression treated by EGFR-TKIs. All of these patients were accepted in-tercalated treatment of chemotherapy and EGFR-TKIs, in comparison with the PFS of EGFR TKIs treatment to the gradual progression and the PFS of EGFR TKIs treatment to progression of intercalated treatment. Follow-up visit came to end on April 30th , 2015, the median PFS survival was draun accordingly. Results 22 patients could be evaluated on the basis of PFS. The PFS of EGFR TKIs treatment to the gradual progression was 13. 3 months. The PFS of EGFR TKIs treatment to progression of intercalated treatment was 24 months (P < 0. 001). Conclusion The PFS could be signally extended in NSCLC patients with gradual progression after failure of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors therapy by intercalated treatment.
