End-stage renal disease is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, and research on palliative care for end-stage renal disease patients in China is still in its infancy. The research content of palliative care for end-stage renal disease at home and abroad mainly includes identification and management of symptoms, advance care planning, psychosocial and spiritual support, and ethical issues in dialysis decision-making. However, practical experience is still insufficient. By focusing on the overview, development status, patient needs, as well as implementation forms and models of palliative care for endstage renal disease patients, this paper summarized the research progress and application status of related research, with a view to providing references for future domestic research and clinical practice in this field.

Objective :
To analyze the overall survival( OS) of sequential osimertinib treatment in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) exon 20 T790M mutant advanced non⁃small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and risk factors of the efficacy of sequential osimertinib treatment.
Methods :
The data of 138 advanced NSCLC patients with acquired EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation who took sequential osimertinib as second⁃line treatment. KaplanMeier variable was used for survival analysis. The Log⁃rank method was used for univariate analysis. The COX risk regression model was used for multivariate analysis. The survival status and influencing factors of patients treated with sequential osimertinib were analyzed.
Results :
At the last follow⁃up , 99 of the 138 patients died. Median progression free survival (PFS1)of first⁃line of first⁃ or second⁃generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors(EGFR⁃TKIs) was 11 months (95% CI: 10. 1 - 11. 9) ; median PFS2 of osimertinib was 10 months (95% CI: 8. 5 - 11. 5) ; The median PFS with sequential osimertinib treatment was 24 months(95% CI: 21. 7 -26. 3) , the median OS was 32 months(95% CI: 28. 9 - 35. 1) . In univariate and multivariate analysis , PFS1 was an independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS(P < 0. 001) .
Conclusion
Sequential osimertinib treatment for advanced NSCLC patients with acquired EGFR exon 20 T790M mutation achieved good PFS(24 months) and OS (32 months) .
