Impact of Dose Reduction of Afatinib Used in Patients With Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Background and Aim: As one of the second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–tyrosine kinase inhibitors, afatinib brings survival benefits to patients with common and rare EGFR mutations. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of 30 and 40 mg of afatinib in patients...
