Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Written informed consent provided. Males or females aged ≥18 years. Able to comply with the required protocol and follow-up procedures, and able to receive oral medications.

Stage IIIA N2 NSCLC according to the pathological evidence of endobronchial ultrasound(EBUS).

The biopsy specimen shows EGFR mutation in exon 19 or 21 by DNA sequencing. Measurable disease must be characterized according to RECIST criteria: measurable lesions are defined as those that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as ≥20cm with conventional techniques (PE, CT, XR, MRI) or as ≥ 10cm with spiral scan.

ECOG performance status 0-1. Life expectancy ≥12 weeks.

Female subjects should not be pregnant or breast-feeding.

Exclusion Criteria:

The biopsy specimen shows EGFR wildtype in exon 19 or 21 by DNA sequencing. Patients with prior exposure to agents directed at the HER axis (e.g. erlotinib, gefitinib, cetuximab, trastuzumab).

Patients with prior chemotherapy or therapy with systemic anti-tumour therapy (e.g. monoclonal antibody therapy).

Known hypersensitivity to Tarceva or any of its recipients.

Evidence of any other disease, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug or puts the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.

Sexually active males and females(of childbearing potential) unwilling to practice contraception during the study.
