Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study of Neoadjuvant Therapy With Icotinib in IIIA NSCLC Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation
Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study of Neoadjuvant Therapy With Icotinib in IIIA NSCLC Patients With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall response rate and disease free survival for IIIAN2 non-small-cell lung cancer patients with EGFR 19 or 21 exon mutation.
Neoadjuvant therapy has been used for years to treat patients with non-small-cell lung cancer whose primary tumors are too large to allow for surgery. Reduction in size of the primary tumor with neoadjuvant therapy has made it possible for those patients. Moreover, the goals have expanded to include: determination of the sensitivity of the tumor so that subsequent therapy can be modified accordingly; to prolong disease free survival; to prolong survival.
Inclusion Criteria:
1.The patients signed the written informed consent. 2.The patients present with operable IIIAN2 non-small-cell lung cancers with 19 or 21 exon mutation.
3.The patients have no history of anti-cancer therapies including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical therapy.
4.The patients' Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scores are ≤ 0-1. 5.The age of patient is ≥ 18 years old with a life expectancy longer than 3 months.
