Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is about 40-50% in Taiwan, and there are significant correlations between EGFR mutations and clinical responses after gefitinib treatment. For most patients with advanced disease, surgical intervention for tissue sampling is not feasible. We therefore conducted this study to survey EGFR...
