Abstract excerpt
In non-small cell lung cancer, the EGFR gene mutations identify a patient sub-population with different clinical characteristics and treatment responses to those that do not have these mutations. There are mutations that derive in increased sensitive to EGFR targeted therapy, as well as mutations that result in resistance. The determination of EGFR mutations involves a change in the therapeutic approach to lung...
