Almonertinib, as a third-generation EGFR-TKI, has been used for the treatment of advanced non small cell lung cancer. How to improve the progression free survival in advance was a challenge. Our previous study showed that first-line EGFR-TKIs plus microwave ablation had PFS survival advantage versus EGFR-TKIs alone. So we conducted this prospective study to verify the efficacy and safety of the combination in a randomized, controlled, phase II clinical trial. Patients were assigned into two groups.In the experiment group, patients were treated with both Almonertinib and microwave ablation. In the control group, patients were treated with Almonertinib alone. The primary end point was progression free survival. Second endpoints included overall survival and safety.
