Abstract excerpt
Malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) are often observed in lung cancer, especially adenocarcinoma. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations are usually detected in lung adenocarcinoma. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the EGFR mutation rate in MPEs of lung adenocarcinoma.
