The invention relates to an 
erlotinib (
Erlotinib Hydrochloride) sustained-release preparation for treating the non-
small cell lung cancer. The 
erlotinib sustained-release preparation is prepared fromthe following raw and auxiliary materials in percentage: 30% to 50% of 
erlotinib, 10% to 40% of sustained-release material, 30% to 50% of filler, 1% to 10% of solubilizer and 1% to 4% of 
lubricant. The invention further provides a preparation method of the sustained-release tablets. The preparation method comprises the steps of: firstly, placing the erlotinib, the sustained-release material and the filler into a high-efficiency wet granulator to uniformly mix; then adding the solubilizer into 
purified water to prepare solution; adding a proper volume of solution into a pot to carry out wet 
granulation; after particles are dried, adding a proper volume of 
lubricant; and after uniformly mixing, carrying out tabletting to form the tablets. Compared to a common 
drug, the erlotinib sustained-release preparation has the advantages of reducing the "peak valley" effect of in-vivo release of the 
drug, reducing a probability that 
cancer cells generate 
drug resistance, reducing adverse reactionson a patient, which are generated due to excessively high 
blood concentration of the drug, enabling the 
blood concentration to be continuously and stably kept to 
optimal treatment concentration, improving 
bioavailability of the drug, reinforcing the 
curative effect and improving administration safety.
