Overview
Experts in lung cancer discuss recent developments in the treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC, including biomarker testing and emerging treatments for managing patients with early-stage and metastatic disease. The experts will highlight important data recently presented at the World Congress on Lung Cancer (WCLC) and European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2021 that will likely impact future clinical practice.
