First-line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer: Systematic review and network meta-analysis

Abstract

Background: The objectives of this systematic review and meta-analysis were to compare the survival, toxicity, and quality of life of patients treated with necitumumab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin. These agents were investigated in published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the first-line setting.
