Predictive and Prognostic Impact of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients Treated With Gefitinib
15 Feb 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation and its downstream signaling on response and survival in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib.
