Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are associated with an increased response to gefitinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We have examined the impact of gefitinib on progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We searched for all clinical trials that prospectively...
