Approximately 40% of patients with early-stage lung cancer experience disease recurrence within 1 year of receiving curative-intent surgery, representing a significant unmet medical need. Management of patients with NSCLC should be individualized based on a number of factors, including the molecular profile of the patient’s tumor and the benefits and limitations of therapeutic options in the context of the latest evidence. Continued advances with targeted therapies have prompted strong interest in expanding their use into earlier disease settings, and adjuvant EGFR-targeted therapy has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in early-stage NSCLC, leading to the first regulatory approval of osimertinib as adjuvant therapy after resection in patients with NSCLC whose tumors have EGFR exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R mutations. Early findings from studies in the neoadjuvant setting are
