Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have reported that clinical response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is associated with somatic changes of EGFR in the advanced stage of lung cancer. However, there is no clear data demonstrating whether such molecular changes of EGFR per se can affect the clinical outcome of early stage cancer after surgical resection. DNA mutations of EGFR and KRAS were investigated in 71...
