Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (7p12.3-p12.1) and in the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) (17q21.1) characterize a subset of lung carcinomas. These mutations may relate to the response of the tumor to the tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib and...
