In patients with advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treatment with osimertinib and gefitinib plus pemetrexed-based chemotherapy was found to be superior to other first-line therapies, according to a systematic review and network meta-analysis published in the BMJ. For this investigation, study authors searched various databases from inception through May…
