Conclusions • Maintenance therapy is a relevant option to discuss with patients • Treatment choice should be based on EGFR, ALK, histology, response to front-line therapy and patient preferences • In EGFR/ALK wild-type maintenance is not recommended for patients with low performance status • In EGFR mutated patients EGFR-TKIs are the best option • In ALK+ any effort should be done for reducing the risk to preclude crizotinib therapy Istituto Toscano Tumori-Livorno-Italy
