Lung cancer is the most common malignant tumor and the second most common malignant tumor in terms of mortality in the world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer. Currently, the first-line standard treatment for advanced NSCLC is immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Although these treatments prolong the survival of patients, acquired drug resistance is still inevitable. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a new type of anti-tumor drug made by coupling cytotoxic payloads to specific monoclonal antibodies via linkers. Compared with chemotherapy drugs, ADCs have the advantages of accurate recognition, local release, and high patient tolerance. In recent years, they have shown good clinical benefits in the treatment of NSCLC. This article provides an overview of the mechanism of action of ADCs, clinical studies progress in advanced NSCLC, and existing problems and challenges.
