In this work we undertook a meta-analysis of pooled data from 6 Clinical Trials of vaccination with Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We realize a meta-analysis with the objective to evaluate the safety of vaccine. The majority of adverse events found was light and moderate and they weren't always related with the product administered during the study. Vaccination with EGF is safe and influences survival of advanced NSCLC patients, therefore it improves the quality of life in patient with advanced lung cancer.
