How TAGRISSO / OSIMERTINIB Medication Can Treat
Your Lung Cancer?
2

• Lung Cancer is the cause of nearly 1.6 million
  cancer deaths around the world every year. It is
  generally caused by malignant cell growing in the
  bronchi or airways inside the lungs. A type of
  lung cancer known as Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
  is responsible for nearly 85 of the lung cancer
  cases.

In some non-small cell lung cancer cases, the
patient may have an abnormal protein in the tumor
known as epidermal growth factor receptor or
EGFR. Such mutated receptor may lead to the tumor
growing uncontrollably. In such cases, certain
medications are used to block the mutated
receptor known as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors
or EGFR TKIs. However, such medications are
inefficient in the treatment of lung cancer
patients who have a particular mutation known as
T790M mutation

Lung Cancer Treatment with Tagrisso
Tagrisso medication contains an active substance
called Osimertinib that belongs to the
anti-cancer class of medications known as protein
kinase inhibitor. This substance blocks the
mutated receptor in patients who have a T790M
mutation to further inhibit the tumor
growth. The branded medication Tagrisso is
manufactured by AstraZeneca and approved in over
70 countries including USA, UK, China and Japan.
This medication is often prescribed for the
treatment of EGFR T790M mutation positive
non-small cell lung cancer.

As per several studies, around 80 of all
non-small cell lung cancer cases can be treated
with Tagrisso. Survival through Tagrisso depends
on several factors like lung functions, size of
the tumor or even general fitness. However, even
in uncurable cases of non-small cell lung cancer,
Tagrisso is shown to have positive effects on the
survival rate of the patients.
