- cancer molecular-targeted drug is used, but a satisfactory treatment method has been found. Not.
- Afatinib is a cancer molecular-targeted drug that is effective against non-small cell lung cancer with a mutation in the EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) gene, but its usual dose (40 mg / day) causes side effects such as systemic eczema and diarrhea. In addition to being easy to accompany, the effect of suppressing brain metastasis is insufficient (Non-Patent Document 2).
