Objectives
- Provide an algorithm that outlines the use of first-line treatment
- ptions based on histology and mutation status of metastatic non-
small-cell lung cancer
- Review the main evidence supporting the role of chemotherapy
regimens and targeted agents as first-line treatment options
- Summarize current clinical trials that may add new options in first

From chemo to hero…
Mid 1990s – docetaxel, paclitaxel, vinorelbine and gemcitabine shown to be effective when combined with cisplatin 2009 – maintenance therapy with erlotinib improves survival in Stage IV NSCLC 2004 – gefitinib produces better responses in some EGFR mutations 2013 – afatinib approved for Stage IV NSCLC treatment
