“The results showed that taking Tagrisso (osimertinib) as an additional therapy (known as an “adjuvant” therapy) after surgery and sometimes chemotherapy made a significant difference in the percentage of patients who had a recurrence. After 2 years, 89% of patients on Tagrisso were lung cancer-free vs. 53% of those not taking it.”

Sending hope that this game changer gets approved soon!
