Background: Outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused millions of deaths and lifelong consequences since December 2019. We attempted to evaluate the incidence, distribution, and risk factors associated with death after applying the social distance strategy to the second wave of SARS-CoV-2 in the Danang outbreak in Vietnam.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the online the Danang Hospital reports, gathering the epidemiological history of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 patients.
Lung cancer has been the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both developed and developing countries, with most primary lung cancers being non-small cell lung carcinomas. Treatment for this condition is sometimes individualized. With developments in modern treatment and phase III clinical trial results, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and ALK-TKI have proven thier superior effectivity in comparison with the standard platinum-based doublet and are commonly approved as first-line indications in previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR or ALK mutations.
