Mutations Within the Kinase Domain and Truncations of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Are Rare Events in Bladder Cancer: Implications for Therapy
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: It has previously been reported that the patient response to gefitinib depends on the presence of mutations within the kinase domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or the expression of its truncated form, EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII).
