Nivolumab and epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are now the standard-of-care therapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although EGFR-TKIs are well understood and have well-defined safety profiles, our experience with immune checkpoint inhibitors is still growing, particularly regarding the use of combinations of different classes of antitumor agents, including both the concomitant and sequential use of such agents.
