• About 30% of patients with NSCLC present with resectable
disease at diagnosis1-3
• Surgery with curative intent is the primary treatment for these
patients4
• Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy is recommended for
patients with resectable stage II-IIIA NSCLC and select patients
with stage IB disease5
• Adjuvant impact depends on stage, and there is much room
for improvement6
• Rates of disease recurrence following surgery remain high across
disease stages, regardless of postoperative chemotherapy use7
On December 18, 2020, the FDA approved
osimertinib for adjuvant therapy after tumor
resection in patients with NSCLC whose tumors
have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R
mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test
