A total of 76 patients with advanced NSCLC with EGFR major mutations (del19 or L858R) receiving first‐line osimertinib were eligible as the osimertinib (Osi) group, whereas 43 patients receiving first‐ or second‐generation EGFR‐TKIs were compared with the control group. Here, EGFR is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
