neoadjuvant targeted therapy in patients with resectable egfr-mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma

Conditions: Lung Cancer; Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Summary: previous trials, such as adura and ctong, have demonstrated the benefits of neoadjuvant targeted therapy in patient with egfr mutations , which can effectively reduce the extent of tumors and improve the survival outcomes. however, clinical trials of neoadjuvant targeted therapy in nsclc have rarely enrolled patients with egfr-mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma due to its rarity, which means that the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant osimertinib in patients with resectable stage ii-iiib egfr-mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma remains controversial.

this trial aims to investigated the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant osimertinib in patients with resectable stage ii-iiib egfr-mutated lung squamous cell carcinoma.
