Clinical Pearls
- Many patients have comorbid diseases and are very sick when they are diagnosed with lung cancer
- TKIs are oral, do not require an IV and they do not have grade 3 and 4 life-threatening toxicities
- Sick patients who have lung cancer should have molecular testing to see if they are eligible to use TKIs
