Abstract excerpt
Somatic mutations within the kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are present in approximately 10% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with an increased frequency in adenocarcinomas arising in nonsmokers, women, and individuals of Asian ethnicity. These mutations lead to altered downstream signaling by the receptor and appear to define a subset of NSCLC characterized by "oncogene...
