Clinically, programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockades have demonstrated promising therapeutic outcomes for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The present study aimed to examine the impact of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) polymorphism on clinical outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC who were treated with PD-1 blockades therapy. The present study was designed as a retrospective analysis, where a consecutive screening of 89 patients with advanced NSCLC who received PD-1 blockades monotherapy were screened.

Therefore, the present study was to investigate the clinical outcome and safety of osimertinib plus anlotinib for patients with previously treated EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC.
Methods: Designed as a retrospective study, this study consecutively included a total of 33 patients with advanced NSCLC who possessed a EGFR T790M-positive mutation and progressed after the first-line therapy.
Purpose: The present study was to investigate the real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib monotherapy as third-line therapy for elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods: A total of 83 elderly patients (>65 years) with NSCLC who were progressed at least two lines of previous systemic therapy were recruited retrospectively. Patients were treated with anlotinib monotherapy (12 mg or 10 mg).
