Cryotherapy Combine Icotinib for Advanced NSCLC Treatment

In this single arm clinical study, enrolled patients, with advanced stage NSCLC and confirmed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, would receive cryotherapy for tumors and begin Icotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor administration thereafter. Progression free survival, overall survival and safety wil be observed.
